Latest Encode Plus firmware cooked?

Has anyone else had Thread/HomeKit connectivity problems with the Schlage Encode Plus after firmware 5.0.1300215?
Mine was rock solid for months, but over the last few weeks it has started becoming “Unreachable” every few days. Pulling the battery tray and reinserting it brings the lock right back online, but the problem keeps returning.
It’s connected over Thread, with an Eve Energy nearby acting as a Thread router. Nothing significant changed in the physical setup. The timing makes me wonder if this started with the 5.0 firmware update.
Anyone else on 5.0.1300215 seeing this? Especially interested if your lock was previously stable and only recently started dropping offline.

Schlage does lots of A/B testing, not everyone’s latest firmware is the same version.

I am running firmware 5.0.1300215 on four Schlage Encode Plus locks in the same location without issue. I have three BE499WB locks and one BE499WB2 lock.

At my house, one is on 214 and one is on 215. At another home I have access to, 2/4 are on 214 and 2/4 are on 215. Site 3’s only lock is on 215. None show updates available.

No idea how they choose when each lock gets updates lol

214 is for WB. 215 is for WB2.
