Yes please.
I have not been using a stand alone product of office. I have been using Office 365 subscription where I could sign-out of the office application (i.e. Word) and it was still activated (this is what I did always when using the office application, I never used it while signed in). Reason for that being able to work was that Microsoft counted the devices that the office application was installed on.
I unfortunately updated the Office 365 application which now changed to Microsoft 365. This changed a few things amongst others where it now counts sign-in's so that you can download and install Office on any computer and sign in on that computer which automatically signs you out of the other computer it was signed in on (depending on which plan you had).
If you only use Office 365 personal on 1 computer in your home, the new way that Microsoft 365 deals with sign-ins is just not something to be very happy with. My online MS account shows the device that is installed on so Microsoft should already be able to tell that my office application should be activated on my (and only) device. there should not be a reason to be continuously signed in.
