When will updates for Quicken for users on macOS 12/Monterey end?
I see that the system requirements for Mac users show support for the last 3 releases of macOS.
My MacBook Air can't be updated beyond macOS 12/Monterey and macOS 15/Sequoia will be released next week.
I'm wondering how much longer I'll be able to use that system with the latest version of Quicken and what happens if I can no longer update…. Thanks in advance!

Nobody knows, and it is doubtful you will get a concrete date.
The "last three releases" being supported has long been the official stance. In the past (and with annual releases), that usually meant that is all is they did testing on-it may/may not have worked on older operating systems.
With the more agile software development with new features being added throughout the year, we are beginning to see more hard stances where a new release (with new features) bars being able to run on older OSes.
I wouldn't expect that once Sequoia is released that Quicken will cease to run. It will likely be when future releases are released is when they draw the line in the sand regarding Monterey. In that case, you are stuck with the last version you are currently running.
In the past, it has always been made clear to users well beforehand that the ability to run on an older OS would be ending. It was never a "suprise" type of situation.
