Microsoft 365 / Office 365 E5 does not include Planner Premium. E5 includes the standard “Planner in Microsoft 365” experience, but the Planner remium capabilities require a separate Planner premium subscription.
Planner Premium is unlocked by these SKUs: Planner Plan 1, Planner and Project Plan 3, and Planner and Project Plan 5.
In contrast, “Planner in Microsoft 365” is the base Planner experience included with Microsoft 365, while the premium features (e.g., advanced scheduling options) are tied to the premium Planner/Project plans above.
In practice, Planner and Project Plan 3 is the most common choice in our customer scenarios because it offers a stronger set of capabilities for project management.

I believe Office 365 E5 does not include Planner Premium by default. Furthermore, possessing a Power Apps Premium or Dataverse Premium license does not automatically grant access to Planner Premium features. These features are tied to the Planner (or Project) Premium license, not to Power Apps or Dataverse licensing.
