What happened to the Durham probe?

I heard some podcast with some Republican never-Trumpers, and one who seemed pretty clued in said that the Durham "probe" had closed down, no October surprise.

Anyone have a definitive source for this? I just found this one article where Weissman said he hasn't been subpoenaed (presumably he would be if there was much going on). Also, one of the Durham main prosecutors resigned in September.

the chief prosecutor assigned to assist Durham stepped down reportedly because she objected to undue pressure to produce results that would be politically damaging before the election.
