Hi,
I don’t think that you can directly downgrade the Ubuntu OS version, so the best way is to create a new Droplet with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and migrate your data over.
You can use rsync to copy files between the old and new Droplets:

Once everything’s moved and tested, just point your DNS to the new Droplet.
