Multi-WAN failover not bringing link back up properly

I have a multi-WAN setup with two uplinks (one to broadband, one to Starlink). I have rules in place to split traffic between them, home traffic to broadband, work traffic to Starlink. Works great still.
Note to all of this: this setup with my gateway groups and all my firewall rules have been running fine since the previous major release, and this major release.
What I’m seeing though is the link health check will kick in sometimes because Starlink will have a hiccup, and will fail the link and initiate failover in the gateway group. What won’t happen is the piece monitoring for the Starlink side of things to come back up won’t bring up that interface again. I have to log into the UI and toggle off the interface my Starlink is plugged into, Apply, and then toggle on and Apply to turn the interface back on. Then poof, link is back and we’re happy. I’ve tried power cycling my Starlink router (it’s in bridge mode) and that has not helped.
Worth noting that I tested bringing my broadband link down, and the same thing happens. I have to manually toggle the port for the gateway to be brought back online.
I seem to recall right after the 24.7 rollout that some folks were having issues with getting the links back up on a failover scenario. I had different problems (since resolved) so I never paid attention to it. But it does seem like there is still an issue here.
Happy to try anything or share any details of my config if anyone is willing and able to help debug.

Same here, I use multi-wan to manage multiple VPN connections but once one become offline it never goes back online. I have to manually switch off and on the gateway (or change something else that seems to restart the ping process).
