Auto-download turned back on after recent update

App version:
3.8.0 (095f60da8)

Android version:
15 Build BP1A.250505.005.B1

Device model:
Pixel 7

Expected behavior:
Had ‘Automatic download’ set to off since installing app a year or so ago.

Current behavior:
Recent update re-enabled ‘Automatic download’. Found this out when I reached the end of a downloaded episode. App decided to start playing some random episode in the subscription and downloaded several other random episodes. I have limited data and the app used up for 400mb of it.

First occurred: (e.g. about x days/weeks ago)
May 21, 2025

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Reach end of episode
  2. App decides to play random episode that I didn’t download
  3. App downloads several other episodes that I don’t have any interests in
  4. I go in and see that ‘automatic downloads’ is enabled and then disable

Environment:
Typically used via headphones or Android Auto

Crash info:
No crash associated

Automatic download option appears to remain disabled after subsequent reboots. No idea why the update enabled it.
