Multiple issues since 5.5 release on VS Code plugin

I have the following issues since the 5.5 release:
1 ) Every time I boot up VScode, old conversations will not load after re-opening them. If I type a prompt, it will either get stuck on loading or only show the conversation after I’ve sent a prompt. – Note: I feel like this has to do with issue 2, as this seems to happen when it’s on a different model than the conversation was before.
2 ) My settings just keep switching up non-stop. It seems to keep flipping to 5.4 on medium + fast mode. If I set it to 5.3-codex or 5.5 on ‘normal mode’, it’ll just keep flipping back to 5.4 medium on fast, at seemingly any action. Whether my tokens have depleted (within 3 minor tasks) or I switch between conversations, it just keeps flying back to it.
3 ) It keeps switching, every time I reboot VSCode, between “5.4 has been released!” and “5.5 has been released!”
