I bought a lot of expensive megaliths in the antiquity age because I was getting an insane amount of food from them. More than ten food on many of them.

Then I transition to the next age and suddenly they’re garbage. They’re giving me the culture still but the food adjacency is no longer working. Megaliths are meant to be ageless. Am I missing something or are they broken?

If I had known this I would have bought a lot more Pairidaeza instead as they’re much cheaper and seem to keep all their bonuses.

Is this not expected? All the other city-state suz bonuses apply only to the current age, I don't see why improvements would have an exception. Civ unique improvements, on the other hand, are categorically "ageless".
According to the UI megaliths are categorically “ageless” too. You can see it in the screenshot I posted of the map. My understanding is that “ageless” buildings and improvements are supposed to retain their full functionality through all ages. Is that not the case?

The UIs are not properly ageless as they can be overbuilt by different UIs, they seem to be in their own category.

Same thing happened to me. It must be a bug as "ageless" should be ageless. I bit the bug back as best I could, escalated with the Serpent Mound wonder, and converted some to Company Posts.
*The circled Metaliths should be generating a lot of extra food.

Haha yes, I did the same with Serpent Mound in my capital. It certainly made me feel a bit better.
 
This is why I think the term 'ageless' needs to be split out into seperate terms or it should be applied more specifically than labelling an entire thing as ageless (e.g just putting 'ageless' on the +2 culture part)
