Your license got suspended because your insurance lapsed. Here’s the relevant article

Basically as soon as you switched insurance you were supposed to hand over your plates to the NYS DMV. You didn’t and 90 days passed and now your license is suspended.

Thank you very much for the response. Is there anything I can do to remove the suspension?

I've only had it happen before with changing insurance and the old insurance terminated my policy up to the beginning of the month instead of the day I switched. In this case, the mistake was on the insurance side so they corrected it and my registration suspension was removed.

If I were in your case, I'd consider calling your insurance company and seeing if they can retroactively send proof of coverage for NYS?

If they can't do that or aren't willing to do that, you might just have to serve out your suspension.

Thank you for the response. I will try to call the insurance company and see if they can do anything.
