Why did Plex downgrade the Beta version?

Hi yall. I have a simple shell script that updates my server using your beta channel. It doesn’t check if the version number has increased, it just checks if the version on Plex servers is different from the one I have installed. Today I woke up with this message:

Initially, I thought my script had messed up and downloaded a Public version instead of the one available on the Beta channel. But after checking your official download website, I noticed that enabling the Plex Pass flag doesn’t give me access to the beta version, which is the version I was running yesterday and has been announced here.
My logs also corroborate the downgrade:

That said, is there anything I should worry about? Was it human error or a problem was detected in the beta version?

Engineering pulled PlexPass 1.23.2 due to a problem.

I’m hoping to get an update today (in greater detail) as to what happened.
