James Anderson is now 41, which is very old for any kind of professional sportsman, fast bowler definitely included.
With Stuart Broad (much younger) announcing his retirement during the 5th ashes test, I'm sure there will be new speculation as to whether Jimmy will retire (he did so before then un-retired himself).
Will resolve yes if, before Jan 1st 2024, he announces he will be retiring, either from international cricket, or from all professional cricket.

I'm a NO holder. I can't name a thing other than his age indicating Jimmy would announce retirement before ENG tour of IND in Jan 2024.
-Jimmy has said said unambiguously that he feels like he has a lot left.
-He will play 0 cricket matches for the rest of 2023, so no opportunity for a swan song or injury to force him into retirement.
Odds of him having played his last test for ENG could be 33%ish (what the chart says now). Odds of him announcing retirement in the next 3 months though? Absolutely not 33%. That might be closer to him retiring end of the next English summer... Though I wouldn't be surprised if he never officially announces and they just stop picking him.
