I got it to work after a restart. It happened right after I was notified to switch models due to usage for the particular model I was using.

I will say, allowing some MAX usage included, is a cool and nice touch. That being said, I wonder if I feel that way simply because everything else is so unclear it feels ultra expensive. Either way, that is something I really appreciate, and seems to be a step in the right-ish direction? Knock on wood, given, well…lol
