We’ve started rolling out a release of 1.29.11 (585) to all Android users, and that should fix this issue. It’s working on both my Pixel 3A and Pixel 7. It should be available to everyone in the next few days.

I am also on a Pixel 4a and had been having this problem. The workaround is working for me! Thank you for getting this fixed!
