Comment:

 This is correct, PHP 8.2 is no longer actively supported by PHP.

 It's still receiving Security updates, but is considered EOL by PHP.


 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/pull/497

 To quote #6612
 > For context, the relevant ServeHappy API constants are:
 >
 > - RECOMMENDED_PHP is the latest branch of PHP which WordPress.org
 recommends.
 > - SUPPORTED_PHP is the lowest branch of PHP which is actively supported.
 > - SECURE_PHP is the lowest branch of PHP which is receiving security
 updates.
 > - ACCEPTABLE_PHP is the lowest branch of PHP which is still considered
 "acceptable" in WordPress. Sites with a version lower than this will see
 the ServeHappy dashboard widget urging them to update.

 If you disagree with the messaging used by core, this should be raised
 with the core PHP team.
