Skyliner closing time?

When I google it, the Skyliner currently has reduced operating hours & stops running at 830p (WDW info & other sources) but it's been reported that certain weeks in February have extended Epcot hours to 9pm or even 10pm on Valentine's weekend. Will the Skyliner still be running 90 minutes after Epcot closes or will it close 30 minutes/90 minutes BEFORE the park closes? My cousins have just booked their 1st visit to WDW that intersects with our trip but we're at BWV & they're at Pop. Just wondering about their transportation options if they decide to visit our room after their Epcot day.

The way it ran last year was that the skyliner would keep running until everyone was out of EPCOT and DHS. Disney needs to get all of those customers back to POP, AOA and CBR after park close. How long that takes and when it shuts down at that point is dependent on numerous factors, so I wouldn't count on any hard cut off times. It could close 30 minutes after close, although I would doubt it, or it could be 2 hours.

Posted the last couple of days was Epcot, and Pop lines until 9:30, DHS line until 8:30. So, 90 mins after park closing.

As an aside, on Sunday evening as we left Epcot just after 8, there was a CM near the IGW with a speaker directing folks with a car at DHS to return to the front of the park for a bus.

ETA: As I think about it, on Sunday night if you were leaving Epcot at close, and the DHS line was closing at 8:30, you would not have made it to the CBR station in time. I estimate the Epcot Skyliner line was at least 30 mins.

Oof, if you're already at the IG you're probably better off just walking to DHS rather than to the front of Epcot.
