Bug: 1Password incorrectly updating from wrong channel (Nightly instead of Beta)

Some time ago I temporarily switched to the Nightly channel, to start using passkeys. Once passkeys were promoted to the Beta channel, I changed to the Beta channel. I was on 8.10.14 (or .12?) at that moment and expected to get no more Nightly updates, but a Beta updated once that had a higher version number than 8.10.14 (.12?).

Instead 1Password updated to 8.10.16. If 1Password keeps installing Nightly updates, despite the channel being set to Beta, I will never be able to return to Beta (or Production).

I prefer to run Production, but am willing to run Beta until passkeys promote to Production.

How to get out of Nightly?

1Password Version: 8.10.16 Nightly
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.5.1

    Also confused.

    Asked follow-up questions in the other topic to clarify.

    I can not follow the logic.
    If I change the setting from NIGHTLY to BETA, the consistent behaviour of 1P would be that the next new beta (with a higher build number than the existing "old" NIGHTLY) would be installed.
    Maybe this is not implemented that way, but then the implementation is inconsistent with the settings that are possible/allowed.

    I don't see an explanation there for Nightly updates still being installed after changing to Beta?

    (I expected NO updates until a newer Beta is available, but that is not what is happening).

    PS: I got out of this by uninstalling 1Password and re-installing the beta. More details in the topic you linked...

    I had activated the NIGHTLY channel for new builds to test some aspects of 1P recalling the main window position. Now, I would like to switch back to the "normal" Beta channel. I have set the Release channel to Beta (and recently even to Production) in Settings/Advanced/Release channel: and "Install updates automatically" to OFF.

    However, each time I open the Settings/About window, the most recent NIGHTLY build is downloaded and offered for installation with "Restart now".

    What to do?
    Ho to deactivate the NIGHTLY channel for new builds?
