Netlify — [ERROR] Top-level await is not available in the configured target environment (“node14”)

Question

I am getting an error that I’m using a feature in my serverless function that is not supported in Node v14. However, I’m not using Node v14, but v16. I have selected version 16 in every way I could find from the docs.

cat netlify.toml
[functions]
  node_bundler = "esbuild"
  external_node_modules = ["pg"]

[build.environment]
  NODE_VERSION = "16"
  AWS_LAMBDA_JS_RUNTIME = "nodejs16.x"

[context.production.environment]
  NODE_VERSION = "16"
  AWS_LAMBDA_JS_RUNTIME = "nodejs16.x"

[context.deploy-preview.environment]
  NODE_VERSION = "16"
  AWS_LAMBDA_JS_RUNTIME = "nodejs16.x"

cat .node-version
16

So why does it think I want Node v14 still?
