App Engine: re-deploy with node16 fails

Hi.
22.02.2024 we re-deploy App Engine with node16 - and it fails with an error:

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) INVALID_ARGUMENT: Error(s) encountered validating runtime. Runtime nodejs16 is end of support and no longer allowed. Please use the latest Node.js runtime for App Engine Standard..
(p.s. the day before 21.02.2024 - the same process went fine).

In my understanding "End of support" should not affect on re-deploy.
And we planned to move to node18 in 6 month.

Is there anything we can do?
