This is old news but for the purposes to making sure folks know:

Office 2016 connectivity support for Office 365 services
In addition, we are modifying the Office 365 services system requirements related to service connectivity. In February, we announced that starting October 13, 2020, customers will need Office 365 ProPlus or Office 2019 clients in mainstream support to connect to Office 365 services. To give you more time to transition fully to the cloud, we are now modifying that policy and will continue to support Office 2016 connections with the Office 365 services through October 2023.

The previous support end date was October 2020.  Basically, connectivity from Office Professional Plus 2016 was gonna be “no longer supported” after this month.  This support statement changed as you can see.

(It’s buried at the bottom of this post so I wanted to highlight it for those who needed it)
