'Show declined events on your calendar' setting missing in Outlook Calendar settings

Question

*EDIT

The feature is now available for me

---

I want to have declined events remain visible in my Outlook Calendar.

Following this guide here: Show a declined meeting on my calendar

The steps are:

1. In Calendar, on the View tab, select Calendar Settings.
2. In the Settings dialog, select Calendar > Events and invitations.
3. Under Save declined events, turn on Show declined events on your calendar.

However, in Step 3, There is no Save declined events section or a toggle for Show declined events on your calendar

See screenshot attached.

I have also tried to do this in the Web version of Outlook in Chrome but setting is also missing there.
This setting/feature is not available outside of New Outlook according to the guide.
