“Decline” an occurrence of my own recurring meeting

I have a recurring meeting for which I am the organizer. In my org people clear out meetings when they have planned out of office so that others can quickly see who is attending those meetings. While clearing out my out of office days, I came across a recurring meeting for which I am the organizer. As this is a cross team sync meeting, it should still continue in my absence, but I want to remove myself from the occurrence in order to clear out my schedule.

I found this question In Outlook, how do I give one instance of a recurring meeting to someone else? which seems to be asking either the same question, or one very similar, but perhaps because of a different Outlook version or maybe the specific circumstances here I don’t have the same options as this user did. When I go into the occurrence of this meeting I only have the option to cancel meeting (which I don’t want to do), not “decline” occurrence. My current workaround is to leave it on my calendar but mark myself as out of office for the time of this meeting, which seems inelegant. Can someone let me know if there’s a better solution here?

For reference, I have Microsoft Outlook for Microsoft 365
