A Blizzard blue poster confirmed that the portal would disappear at the end of the month. The reasoning behind this is that March is the birth month of the real-life Kanai. Up until now, the spirit of Kanai would simply tell players that “The time is not right”, but during the month of March, he will open up a portal to “Kanai’s Stomping Grounds”.

"The Kanai event has actually been present since Patch 2.4.0 launched, but is only available during March - the real world birth month of Kevin Kanai Griffith, the artist for whom Kanai's Cube (and King Kanai) is named," Blizzard community manager Nevalistis noted on the forums.
