Cannot seem to find any way to change the php version from 8.2 to 8.1
It is not possible to change the PHP version on free hosting. Please update your script, or consider premium hosting which supports more PHP verisons

You can’t change the php version, because Infinityfree auto-set it to be a certain one, and changing it could impact your site, break things, or other sites if infinityfree changed it globally.
We’re not so much “auto-setting” it to a particular version, as much as there is no setting to begin with. Our servers have PHP. There is one version of PHP on every server, exactly one, and that’s the PHP installation used by all sites on the server. Having multiple PHP versions is an additional feature that free hosting doesn’t have.
With software on your own computer, you also typically have only one version installed. You can upgrade or downgrade the installed version, but not multiple versions at the same time. And multiple people using the same computer also can’t each use a different version of the software.
So the only way to offer PHP 8.1 right now is to make everyone use PHP 8.1. And while your website needs to have at most PHP 8.1, other people have software that needs at least PHP 8.2.
