You can call the sales team and ask them to change your subscription to the classic version to opt-out of Copilot and get the old price back, if you still need the subscription over changing to other open source office suites.
I use ms office 2007 it runs perfectly in wine and still has the cool version of wordart

microsoft 365: 6.99

I guess I should be happy I applied a work discount, which extended my subscription until Oktober 2026 or something.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
