To give up trying (friendship)

So I've been friends with "A" for almost 20 years, we met in secondary school.

For the past year, she rarely texts back, I suggest meeting up, going to hers etc but it's rare she replies.

Example this week I asked if she had plans for the 6 weeks. No reply, but she's constantly updating social media with what she's doing. I feel hurt she couldn't even text and say she's busy!

I was her birthing partner when her youngest dd was born,so maybe that's why I'm holding on.

AIBU to end the friendship?

She’s already ended it. Sorry.

If you’re getting nothing back then it’s already not a friendship.
You don’t have to do anything dramatic. Just put your time and effort into people that reciprocate your efforts. Maybe she will get in touch. Maybe she won’t. But at least you won’t keep feeling rejected.
Friendship ending is much harder than is given credit for I think, so let yourself feel sad.
Also ask yourself do you want to be friends with someone that acts this way? I think most likely not.
