The Amtrak web site says:

Due to COVID-19 pandemic and the highly active Omicron variant, Amtrak is temporarily reducing some train frequencies on select routes due to staffing challenges. Suspension of Silver Meteor daily service between January 17 and March 27 to be offset by a corresponding increase in capacity, as dictated by demand, on the Silver Starand Palmetto routes serving nearly all the destinations served by the Silver Meteor.

5 days a week is one thing - NO days a week is something else.
