Don't put numbers in the beginning of a slug. In the middle or in the end
Also remember to do the 301 from the old URL to the new one
If you are already ranking for that URL I would not change it anyways.

Don't add the year in the URL slug.

Unless it's some kind of very specific product with a yearly edition or something. Otherwise, don't.

I wouldn't add the year to the URL, I would just add it in the title of the article

You should add year to end, so later you can do even all posts in all years in this category.

Put it at the middle or end. I would not add year in url unless it is necessary(only if it has impacts on content).
