They no longer have the chakra Hagoromo gave them. They still have their powers and can make their own Six Paths chakra, but it's clear that the actual amount of chakra given isn't there anymore.

Case in point: Boruto movie. Sasuke can make a couple of dozen shadowclones, whereas Naruto can still make thousands. But they both received exactly half of Hagoromo's power, and logically half Hagoromo's power would be able do to far more than that, Naruto clearly proves that. After Hagoromo's gift expired, their chakra reserves returned to their natural state. Naruto's has Kurama's chakra and Sasuke has his own, considerable reserves.

Lastly, and i brought this up several times before, being jinchuriki has a permanent effect. Gaara could extract Shukaku despite not being jinchuriki anymore. Naruto got enough chakra to be considered Jinchuriki (And thus able to pull out the respective chakras) and enough to be considered the Meeting Place. That's not the same as having enough chakra to weaponize. All Biju can telepathically communicate without everyone having chakra, so it's not even clear to me why naruto would need biju chakra to be their meeting place. He just needs to synchronize with Kurama to meet with the Biju.

EDIT: With Hagoromo's chakra gone, his Markings (ten tails coffin seal) would be gone. It explains why Naruto no longer has that despite still using SPSM. It matches what we know about chakra gifts. It's not clear if Six Paths Chakra unlocks themselves are permanent (e.g. does Kakashi have Six Paths chakra now? Sasuke said Kakashi should use the rinnegan, suggesting he does have the chakra and power to wield it) but we know Hagoromo pulled miracles (the Biju themselves) before, so him granting Sasuke his rinnegan and Naruto his SPSM isn't exactly, you know, a stretch.
