Tell us more about this update

when i add following to the profiles.yml
config:
send_anonymous_usage_stats: False

I have got a warning
Running with dbt=1.8.7
[WARNING]: Deprecated functionality

User config should be moved from the 'config' key in profiles.yml to the 'flags' key in dbt_project.yml.

correct way to turn it off:
dbt_project.yml
flags:
send_anonymous_usage_stats: False

You are correct. As of dbt 1.8 we moved setting global config flags to profiles.yml:

Custom defaults of global config flags should be set in the flags dictionary in dbt_project.yml, instead of in profiles.yml. Support for profiles.yml has been deprecated.
