365 and Mac Monterey question

For my Mac, we purchased a 365 subscription, but then found out that it could not be used on Mac Monterey and was directed to download version 16.88, which we did. Does this mean that we still have to pay for a 365 subscription?

    If you are using version 16.88, you will no longer be required to pay for your Microsoft 365 subscription, but you will lose access to cloud synchronization and new feature updates.

    Since you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, you pay a recurring fee (monthly or yearly), which grants you access to Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) on multiple devices, including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
