Yeah, so USB-C port exploit protection kind of never works the way it used to on Android 14. The only way I can switch off charging-only to use usb devices is to change the setting, and then do a restart. Then it will work for that session.
It doesn't matter if I do a full power off and power back on. If charging-only was set while booting, it simply refuses to switch out of charging-only during that boot. If charging-only wasn't set during boot, then it works fine, until I do a restart or power off/power on with charging-only enabled, at which point the toggle stops working.
This is consistently reproducible on my end. (Re)boot while in charging-only: the toggle never works. (Re)boot while not in charging-only: the toggle always works. This was never broken in Android 14 builds.
