 * So it seems that now we need already PHP8.1? Now most of our clients sites which
   have lower hosting plans cannot update the plugin. And yes, we know that even
   8.0 is too old but WordPress core requires 7.4.

 * You are free to use it on any lower version than 8.1 and it will probably work
   but even 8.1 is currently only receiving security updates so that really should
   be the minimum version you should use either way.
   So it will most likely work,
   but no guarantees.

 * Actually nobody can update to newer version since WordPress and all management
   services blocks the plugin update at wp-admin if the php requirements are not
   met. Only way to update is to manually update via FTP?
