How do I leave an RCS group chat?

I am part of a group chat in Messages that originally was iMessage-only. Then one of them members added an Android user (🤮) and the chat turned green. It was then SMS-only. Now, it has turned RCS. I would like to leave it. I included the chat info below. The way I understand “Delete and Block this Conversation,” is that, yes, I would no longer receive new posts to that chat, but that also all chat history would be gone. How am I wrong about RCS enabling users to leave chats without deleting those chats?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.5

Wondering if you can just screenshot / copy / "share" (to yourself) any of the messages you want to keep.
