When Does "The Matrix Comics: Farewell Performance" (1999) Take Place?
"Farewell Performance" is a science fiction comic-book short written by Jim Krueger that released April 1st, 1999. So when is "Farewell Performance" set?
It takes place on the fictional The Matrix timeline roughly in the years:
We know this because Bixby says, "? Morpheus" so it is extremely likely that it's less than a decade before the audience is introduced to Morpheus in the film "The Matrix" (1999), which takes place in ~2699 AD.
~2690s AD

Other than taking place sometime between ~2680 AD and ~2699 AD, it is an unplaceable work.
The timeline of the Matrix Universe is fairly unique among the largest franchises because the human characters within its fictional world (diegesis) do not themselves know what year it truly is for the duration of most of the stories.
It is a chronologically midway comics short in The Matrix Universe timeline. It can be read at its timeline point or as a flashback at almost any point, like after the film "The Matrix: Reloaded" (2003).
