This term is primarily used in technical and computing contexts in both Brazilian Portuguese and American English. In Brazil, 'ponto final' is the colloquial term, while 'ponto de extremidade' is preferred in formal technical documentation. The term 'end endpoint' itself is somewhat redundant in English (endpoint already implies 'end'), but is sometimes used for emphasis in technical specifications.
