I believe if my memory serves me that it attaches to the cannister via a clip. I think I slid it up to disengage but I can't remember that bit for certain.
Hard to say from this, but it does look like this bracket (17) slides onto the cannister. Looks like it might have something that catches to keep it from easily sliding off.
Definitely bolted.
Bottom view:
How did you all get the canister off with the coolant hose in the way?
I am surprised there is no ECU mod available to permanently close valve 24. That would fix it without the need to unbolt anything.

The solution was simpler than my brain wanted.
You can't remove the bracket, but you don't have to.
(Apologies for the photos, I did my best.)
To get the canister out, you bend those two metal clips towards the front of the bike, as stated in the original post. You just need a long tool to do it:
Surprisingly, there is then enough room to push the canister up and off of the brackets.
Better with video:
Removal of the hose clamps:
Also, my hose clamps / clips were reusable:
Spliced fuel overflow hose:
Ran it down to the bottom engine cover, as others have done.
(Sorry, I forgot to measure the hose OD or ID, and the hose barb I had on hand was unmarked. It looked bigger than 1/4" to me.)
The throttle body hose seems to be 10mm with a 5mm I.D.
Bolt to plug throttle body hose - a #10 between 1/2" and 1" fits best, but a #8 with a flat head would do:
The #10 threads in, a #8 pushes in.
The bolt I used was from an Ikea chair or something, had a nice flat head. But I don't think you need to be especially picky.
Little dab of silicone sealant to make sure:
I also added a zip tie to keep the screw from falling out (not shown).
Finished (for now):
Yes, OK, I will take that bracket off later!
Note I am officially blaming each and every one of you reprobates for complaining that the 2013-2015 models had that ugly canister just hanging out there. That's why Ducati put the cover on mine!
It has been suggested this will fix my stalling issue, so if you guys could cross your fingers for me, I'd appreciate it.

My dealer said mine "fell off" after my 600 mile service. I didn't even recognize it when these posts first started. That cover isn't ugly but I swear that on the 821 it was just the black canister hanging naked.
Save those hose clamps. They are sprinkled throughout the air and coolant circulation systems. I haven't read many cases on here where it the definitive source of a problem but, my dealer said it was junk and routinely caused issues on other/ earlier models. I think it can get flooded and vapor lock pretty easy.

Before I removed mine, the only issue I'd notice was once of twice when I tried to maximize the amount of gas in my tank resulting in an overfill. Bike would start a little harder and engine braking would be greatly reduced as the fumes would be pulled into the motor even when the throttle was closed. The latter part actually made on / off throttle transitions a lot smoother but could be exciting as I was expecting a certain amount of slowing from engine braking. All the same, better off gone.
I would not have done it except it was suggested it might fix my stalling issue.
It didn't, so kind of a waste of time, really.

Think of it as the start of the a glorious path to extreme weight savings. I've probably shed 30 lbs, which I tend to replace in gear for daily commute. Very noticeable when I slick her out for weekend rides. The OEM battery and slip on are probably 20 lbs alone.
While I like the idea, I'm more concerned with not dying when the bike stalls unexpectedly.
Still, it doesn't seem to have done any harm so far.
