unlocked ecu says locked
I have a 2020 ecu that was unlocked a couple of months ago and stage 2 tuned. now recently I bought a new wireless obd2 adapter from bm3 and it seemed to work for a second and then after a while my obd2 wouldn't connect. i waited till the next day and it worked again but now it saying that I need to bench unlock my ecu even tho I already did a while ago. i never updated anything or enabled auto updates. the car still seems to have some features as the sports display still says 560 hp and the gts start up roar is there but the power doesn't seem to be the same... or the pops. assuming it went back to stock power. does anyone know what could have happened?

BMW stopped the OTA of ECU updates and switched to RSU with the MyBMW app. The updated will be downloaded to the phone and then to the car, but will never be installed without the driver confirming. The car is unusable for 30 minutes.

You can also turn off the automatic download of updates in the settings of the MyBMW app.
