I would say by Season 6
-Pip and Mr. Hat are retired as characters
-Ms. Choksondik is gone forever
-Ms. Crabtree barely appears by now
-Chef’s prominence as a character starts slowing down
-Terrence & Philip are barely seen from here on

To me it ended with season 19. After that everything felt lazy with so many reoccurring plots like PC principal, memberberries, Trump, weed, etc.
There was definitely a shift before that as well where humor seemed to far less prioritized than it was earlier. Like their earlier philosophy was “is there some current event going on that we can make a funny episode about?” to: “I want to make an episode about this current event, lets try to make it funny”. But that change felt a lot more gradual.
