 Proposed Patch: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/7231

 Hello @lopo (Yoast), @louiswol94 @illuminea (Elementor), @adrianduffell
 @nerrad @beaulebens (WooCommerce), @ironprogrammer (to help test and/or
 identify a contact at Jetpack), @jjj (BuddyPress and bbPress),
 @takayukister (Contact Form), @borkweb @bordoni (The Events Calendar).

 Appreciate you testing the proposed patch with your products and providing
 feedback. This patch is currently earmarked to land in 6.7.0.

 **The What**
 The proposed patch adds full support for dynamic properties in `WP_Term`
 by providing a ''full set of magic methods''. Note: `isset()` will now
 work for `WP_Term` dynamic properties.

 It also recommends using `WP_Term::to_array()` instead of directly casting
 from an object to an array (i.e. instead of doing `(array) $term`).

 **The Why**
 For PHP 8.2+ compatibility and to resolve the anticipated future fatal
 error of PHP 9+ when dynamic properties are hard removed.
