Special permissions and battery optimizations reset after update
[deleted]
Pixel 6a - all settings stayed as they were before last update.
When I updated to 2022120300 nothing got reset. Interesting. Perhaps it depends on something in the update?
P7P I got these reset after update to 2022120700. Now updated to 2022121100 and didn't get this issue. I noticed on the 2022120700 update that the "optimizing apps" prompt took way longer time, maybe not something related, but something I noticed.

Same happened to me with the last update TQ1A.221205.011.2022121100. (Pixel 6a)
All toggles for stop activity when not in use were reset.
Very strange, at least for me everything works correctly after 2022120300 update.
No more issues since then (touch the wood) on P7 Pro.
I wonder why it is inconsistent (i.e. happens on one device and doesn't happen on the other with the same firmware).

Just FYI.
Absolutely the same experience on P6a, incl. the post update with "Optimizing apps".
It seems to be that the toggles get reset after each reboot now, at least on my 6a.
Unfortunately, I, too, experienced a reset again of all special permissions after the very latest update (2022121100). It appears that @sebastianha may be onto something, as I also think that this specific breakage may be affected on/off by certain things that are tweaked in each update.

Special permissions reset again after last update 2022121400:
- picture in picture - all apps has access now
- wifi management - all apps are allowed now
- turn on the screen - all apps are allowed now
It would be nice to have at least provisionary toggle to deny all.
Unlike the last few OTA updates, no reset for me on 2022121400!
Here again a reset when updating to latest release :(
sebastianha Same for me. Reset again with the 2022122000 update.
Now I can config that it is reboot related, not update related. It happened to me after a "normal" reboot.
On a new Pixel 7 Pro with 2022122700 "All files access" and "Install unknown apps" settings get reset after every reboot. Not randomly, consistent every time.
Interesting, but for me (P6a) the last two updates or recent manual reboots didn't cause any settings reset. At athe same time, rebooting after the update took a long time and battery during "Optimizing apps". Still can't find any pattern of when this happened.
Today's update (2023010300) has additional logging that should help find the cause of this bug.

I'm unable to reproduce this issue on my device.
I need someone who encounters this bug after installing today's update to send me a bugreport or a logcat:
