Captions "Always On" is NOT working for the past week

Hey Roku can you do something about the caption "Always On" NOT working for the past week.  On multiple apps -particularily Max- we have to select "Always On" everytime we start a new tv show episode, tv show or movie.  EVERY TIME!!! Yes I have the latest update, Yes I checked for updates, Yes I've restarted my Roku Express 4K+(both of them) & we still have to keep turning the thing on.  Please fix - it's obvious it's a Roku issue when a lot of the apps are having the problem.  It started about a week ago if that helps any.  Thanks.

"always on" is automatically turned off on Max with every tv show episode or movie change for about the past 10 days.  Happens off & on with Peacock too
