As-Salaamu 3alaykum wa Ra7matullah wa Barakatuhu

Did he really become Athari/Hanbali in his last days?? Anyone read "Al-Ibaanah"?? When exactly was it written? Nuh Keller claims that it was written after al-Ash'ari broke with the Mu'tazilis (so it is one of his earliest books and not his last book, according to Nuh Keller). I would appreciate it if someone could help me answer these questions.

Jazaakumullahu khayr in advance.

Yes, he renounced his misguided ways before. Those who follow "ashariyyah" are not following abul hasan al ashari in reality.

Ibn Jawzi censured, criticized and rebuked Abul Hasan al-Ashari. Search this forum and the web for the quotes.

interesting treatise on Al-Ashari by Allama Hammad al-Ansari al-Madani here
