If I were to take the vSphere 7.x exam (2V0-21.20) in Jan 2024 before the exam is retired on 1/31/23, would my certification certificate show 2023 or 2024?
Repeating the other comments, it depends on the logic that is released Jan 1, 2024. Although the exam isn't scheduled to be retired until then, there is no guarantee that the requirements won't change. Logically, and based on our current policies, taking that exam in January 2024 before it retires would grant you the 2024 certification.
The certification currently, is based on the year where you complete all of the objectives.
VMware typically publish the requirements for VCP in January each year so there is no guarantee that the requirements wont change.
