My AirPods Pro 2nd Generation Are Unable to Switch to the Off Mode

As of recently, my AirPods Pro 2nd generation won't switch to the off mode for some reason. However, they'e still able to switch between transparency, adaptive, and noise cancelling modes. I tried resetting them and that worked, but the same problem happened again not too long after.

I have the same issue and I’m hoping it’s a bug. Surely I should be able to turn Noise Control off, since my understanding is that this results in longer battery life. Right now I can only use Transparency and Noise Cancellation modes.

So, I thought I was going crazy because yesterday 'off' mode worked but I had switched it to 'adaptive' mode and couldn't switch it back to 'off' mode. I tried resetting it and everything today when I saw that there was a software update. Thinking that it might fix it, I updated it. And now...there's no more 'off' mode. What the heck is going on Apple?!
