Can't use automation to auto-add tags to files in a folder

Talking further with Dropbox staff via email, as of Sept 2023 the automated tagging feature is only available to Dropbox Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans.
This list is available on this page:

I thought I was on Standard or Advanced but turns out I'm on the "Plus" plan which is not supported.

It's present in the list for me, both when creating a new automated folder and when adding automation to an existing folder.
I tried adding it as instructed to a newly created folder, and also tried adding the automation rule to an already created folder. Neither worked.
Working fine here. I tested it on a new automated folder and an existing folder that I added a new automation to, and both worked as expected.
Can you take some screenshots that show the option missing?
Screenshots below. I get the same list of options whether I create a new folder and add automation, click "Organize > Add automation", or click "... > Add automation". I'm on the latest version of Chrome (Version 115.0.5790.110) on Windows 11 and have emptied cache and done a hard reload on the page.
Another screenshot showing the available options on the Dropbox Automations page.
