Citation, Documentation of Sources

Q. Has Chicago completely eliminated the use of ibid., when quoting more than once from the same source?

A. Not at all. Although Chicago now prefers the use of a short citation (e.g., “Author, Short Title” plus a page number), ibid. remains an option for those who wish to use it and who are in a position to decide (if in doubt, check with your publisher). See CMOS 13.37; see also 12.77 (for ibid. with parenthetical citations in the text).

[This answer relies on the 18th edition of CMOS (2024) unless otherwise noted.]
