I have a web site up and running, but want to update it, and have found the Node.js version has now been deprecated (currently 14, should be 16).
I am trying to do this from the command line tool. I have created a new environment called "env-node-16", set it to the active one, then deployed. But I still get warnings that it is using the deprecated version of Node.js (or at least I assume it is referring to Node.js).
Below is the transcript where I set it to use my new environment, test that that is the actie one, then check I am using the latest version of EB. But when I then deploy, it says I am using a deprecated platform branch. So I do upgrade, and it tells me it is the most recent version, and also check Node is version 16.
What is deprecated? And how do I resolve it?

To add a little more, I have created an environment in the console, with the platform "Node.js 16 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/5.5.0". They is what I want.
The new environment added in the OP had not appeared in the console when I was posting, but is there now. It has the platform "Node.js running on 64bit Amazon Linux".
A further issue is that the web site does not work in the new environment. If I click on the URL (https://env-node-16.[...].elasticbeanstalk.com/), it just times out. It does report that it is healthy in the console.
