Exclude taxonomy terms

Hi, I scanned the whole web and found some threads about this, but none of those solutions worked for me.
For example here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/exclude-taxonomy-terms-from-frontend-display/

I added many variants of this code

add_filter('acf/fields/taxonomy/wp_list_categories', 'my_taxonomy_args', 10, 2);

function my_taxonomy_args( $args, $field )
{
   $args['exclude'] = array(16, 15, 17); //the IDs of the excluded terms
    return $args;
}

also with specific field name

add_filter('acf/fields/taxonomy/wp_list_categories/name=test_tax2', 'my_taxonomy_args', 10, 2);
    
    function my_taxonomy_args( $args, $field )
    {
            $args['exclude'] = array(64,65,66); //the IDs of the excluded terms
        return $args;
    }

and with the query function instead of wp_list_categories
But I always end up with all the terms in the taxonomy field.

Is there any workaround this?
Thanks!
