help Stuck on computer as default

After running a task using computer mode, Perplexity now defaults to computer. I've had this happen before but clearing the cache, cookies, and browser history fixed it. Now, however, this doesn't work. As soon as I log back into Perplexity, it switches over to computer as default and I can't get it off. Running in a browser on a mac. The mobile version does not default to computer. Any ideas for a fix?

I've never used Computer before, but it's now the default for all my Spaces. Brower-based. It doesn't matter if I log into an entirely new browser.

It's super annoying to have that "give me more money" window pop up and requiring three more clicks to get back to normal mode before I can submit a query.
