PR Description

The breaking change in this pull request is the dropping of support for Node.js 16.x. Node.js 16.x is no longer actively maintained and has reached its end of life, which means it will no longer receive updates or security patches. This decision may impact projects that rely on features or behaviors specific to Node.js 16.x. Developers and maintainers should be prepared to update their code to be compatible with Node.js 20.x, which introduces new features, updates, and potential differences in behavior. It is recommended to review the Node.js release notes for version 20.x to understand these changes thoroughly.
