Maya was 3 when we finally did it
I know, I know! I admit we should have done it waaay sooner, but I was scared.
Cam is still using his when he sleeps.

Pretty much the same, and same time frames, but we cut the binkie at daycare first for a week, then at home the next week, cold turkey. First 2 nights were iffy, but after that, he no longer looked for it! And, Kellen was a binkie junkie!
Cohen stopped when he turned 2, and AJ never used them.
Maya stopped using hers at daycare when she was 2. We continued the bad habit at home for naps and nighttime
We got lucky with K. At six months when he got his front upper teeth in, he no longer had any desire to have it so we just packed them away.
We threw the last one away 2 weeks ago. He went down to using it only at naptime sometime last year. He got to the point where he was chewing through them, so every time he "broke" one I'd show him and throw it away. He's asked for one only a couple of times since.
