 The OpenTelemetry Mongo Ruby gem is a community maintained instrumentation for [Mongo][mongo-home].
 
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> **Development Frozen:**
+>
+> Mongo Ruby Driver 2.23.0+ includes native OpenTelemetry instrumentation. For the best experience and continued support, we recommend:
+>
+> - **Mongo Ruby Driver < 2.23.0**: Use `opentelemetry-instrumentation-mongo` gem
+> - **Mongo Ruby Driver ≥ 2.23.0**: Use Mongo Ruby Driver's built-in OpenTelemetry support (remove `opentelemetry-instrumentation-mongo` gem)
+>
+> Community instrumentation is compatible with Mongo Ruby Driver versions up to 2.23.x. Development of this gem is frozen for newer Mongo Ruby Driver versions in favor of the native integration.
+
 ## How do I get started?
