iOS 16 - parental controls / Ask to Buy not available to turn off

My son is now 17 and I want to turn off App Approval - I've tried looking this up and have been completely unsuccessful. There are hundreds of posts clearing showing how to navigate to settings

Open the Settings app.
Tap your name.
Tap Family Sharing.
Tap Ask to Buy.
Tap your family member's name.
Use the toggle to turn on or turn off Ask to Buy.

But I don't have an "Ask to Buy" option anywhere under his name. I'm the organizer, my wife is a Parent / Guardian, and my son's status is "Adult" - but there is no option here for Ask to Buy. Running iOS 16 - any ideas? I'm very technical - yet can't figure this out - so frustrating.
