Airpods Pro connects while locked into charging case

Hi,

Since the firmware has been upgraded to 4C165, my Airpods Pro connects to devices while locked into its charging case.

It disrupts phone calls, music or videos, whatever I'm doing at the moment.

Any idea what to do?

Hi,

Thank you, I have tried and first it seemed good, but the problem quickly returned.

It might worth to mention that I have the "automatic ear detection" turned off, which might be somewhat related, but it should not connect while it's in the case with the top of the case closed.

I have to keep it in a tinfoil case :D
