Fighting has continued between the SAF and RSF since 15 April 2023, and efforts to find a peace agreement continue (Economist, NBC News, Sudan Tribune). A signed or announced agreement must be acknowledged by both the SAF and RSF and include the whole of Sudan to count. The date a ceasefire will take effect is immaterial. The intended duration of a ceasefire will be determined using credible, open-source reporting, and a qualifying intended duration must be agreed to at its inception (e.g., a 15-day ceasefire that is extended for another 15 days would not count), and a contingent extension (e.g., renewable every two weeks if conditions are met) will not count. Whether the ceasefire holds for its intended duration is immaterial. A peace deal that includes a cessation of all hostilities (i.e., a ceasefire, armistice) within the parameters laid out in the question description will count. For the purposes of this question, the inclusion of Abyei and/or Kafia Kingi is immaterial (Al Jazeera, Rift Valley Institute).
