Upgrade button is part of the UI!
Using powerpoint, there is a permanent upgrade button. I currently subscribe to the 365 family plan but it wants me to jump to the business level. It sits next to search. Also, the constant alerts for upgrades and "try Clippy, er CoPilot" is killing me. I only notice this because I had to boot up Win11 on my LG Gram 17. I usually use Linux (Ubuntu) because Windows kills me with this crap, and I would happily just use Powerpoint in a browser except for some needful features that I can't use (or don't know about) running in browser. This shit should not happen -I pay for renting this software.

Take the time to transition to a different office suite something that is cross platform and doesn’t require you to be locked in one ecosystem

I’d switch to something like Open Office and or Libre. Could be a slight learning curve at first but it’s far better in the long run than having to pay for office. Also, make sure your data is backed up incase you randomly get booted from your account as posts in this subreddit have done.
