Here's the 2020 article.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday reaffirmed a pledge she made to House Democrats two years ago that she would give up the gavel after the 117th Congress.

Ahead of the 116th Congress, Pelosi cut a deal with a handful of members threatening to vote against her for speaker on the floor. To win their support, the California Democrat agreed to allow the caucus to vote on proposed term limits for the top three Democratic leaders and to abide by the proposal herself regardless of whether it was adopted.

Her response wasn’t direct, but it revealed her intention to keep her promise from two years prior.

“What I said then is whether it passes or not, I will abide by those limits that are there,” the speaker said.

Pelosi reaffirms that next term as speaker will be her last
