My START / STOP feature has been disabled... anyone else?

I recently had the shorter 2024 model Software Update by my dealer. (not the long 5 hour update).
It did allow me to permanently turn off the ADAS stuff, but I have noticed now that the START / STOP feature is no longer working, regardless of whether I push the START / STOP button or not.
So mine seems to be permanently "disabled." It's not really a problem as I prefer it to be OFF, but I was curious if any other North American owners are experiencing this too?

Mine didnt work at all and I never gave it any thought until it just started working after about 2500 miles.
Now it shuts off at the drop of a hat.

The 24.1 software update worked as Ineos intended regarding ADAS. As a result, I fell out of my pre-drive rituals of disabling ADAS and disabling Start/Stop. Now, sometimes when I drive around, the engine turns off and yikes, I hate that. Start/Stop still works for me after that update. I don't know if 24.1 is the long one or short one.

Thanks for the replies. Lately, I have been fiddling around with many settings and I wonder if I accidentally disabled it permanently, seems to me it has changed since my recent software update though... I definitely received the SHORT update.
The dealer told me the long update was only for the 2025 models, IF the dealer is correct.
Still it seems odd, as I recall it was working after the update, even though I prefer NOT to use the SS feature, this is more of a curiosity as to why it doesn't work now.

If you managed to disable it permanently by fiddling around with your settings, I am sure that there are many on here who'd be grateful if you could tell us all what you did when fiddling! Permanently disabling via the HMI settings would be wonderful.

I am trying to ascertain why my S/S stopped working and I don't have the answer, I was hoping someone on the forum might be experiencing the same issue after the most recent Software update.

Yeah, that's a known side effect for some people after the shorter software update. The system that controls the start/stop needs to recalibrate.

It should come back on its own after a few drive cycles. If it doesn't, the dealer might need to do a battery sensor reset. Since you prefer it off, just enjoy it while it lasts

Thank You for confirming what I suspected was going on. Very much appreciate everyone's replies.
