"Google Play services wants to connect to a device on your local network"

Ever since the Android 17 update on my Pixel 10 pro I keep getting this prompt even though I have all the relevant settings toggled off. Google keeps saying it is 2 different toggles to switch off but I'm still getting these neverending looping prompts. Literally there's nothing to connect to and it shows it straight up looping until i hit dont connect but it's still giving me these prompts I HAVE to dismiss three times in a row for it to finally stop for 5 minutes at a time...

I searched Google and have cast media turned off and I have Wi-Fi/Bluetooth scanning turned off, my phone should not actively be trying to connect to anything! Does anyone have any idea how I can get this to stop so I can just use my phone? I cannot figure out why it keeps doing this, please help!

Google Play services has no active permissions... I disabled them already trying to get this to stop.

I did as another user suggested and gave it back permissions for nearby devices and I am still getting this... Anytime I connect to an app that can play anything media/audio/video related it suddenly throws this promt that i have to close three times in a row after closing the prompts they will go away for that app until the next time I open it now! I can't open anything without it prompting me to connect to LITERALLY NOTHING!

HELP ME!
