How long can I use older versions of photoshop before Adobe forces me to use the latest version?

For context, for the past 8 months Ive been using Photoshop version 22.2.0 from 2021. The reason Ive been using this 3 year old photoshop version is because all versions of photoshop post 2022 dont agree with my current hardware. In fact, when discussing this issue with adobe's support (before they replaced real people with an ai chat bot), they told me that versions from before 2023 were perfect, and gave me access to a version of photoshop from early 2021. I knew at some point this wouldnt last forever and Adobe would 'punish' me in someway for not using their buggy and bloated latest versions. And earlier today I got this pop up when I opened up photoshop:Screenshot (2350).pngexpand image

I really dont want to update photoshop at all, and I want to continue using the 2021 version. Its been the most stable and less buggy photoshop experience Ive had in a long time. In fact, between November (when I started using this version) and now, I have had zero program crashes. Plus, this happening now is pretty bad since Im working on a chapter of my webcomic and while I have gotten another art program to replace photoshop, Im still adjusting to that program and have been using photoshop to draw and complete this chapter before I move onto the new program. But I know its not in my control weather I continue to use Photoshop 2021 or not, so I just wanted to ask if anyone has also refused to update their version of photoshop, how long do I have before Im barred from using PS 2021?

think you can continue to use 2021 on your existing hardware. There were a couple of threads from mid-April about this: here and here.
