Apple TV Plus content no longer plays in Dolby Vision

My TV and receiver are Dolby Vision capable, I know this for a fact because I can enable it manually through the Apple TV 4K, but I like to leave the video settings at 4K HDR. Up until a few weeks ago whenever I begin to play See, my TV used to automatically switch to Dolby Vision; however, it doesn't do this anymore and just plays the content in HDR. It seems to be an Apple TV+ plus issue, because when I when play Dolby Vision content through Netflix, my setup would automatically switch to Dolby Vision. Any thoughts?

I believe this might be a side-effect of the issue being discussed in this post where a lot of people had issues with the first few episodes of tv+ shows not displaying correctly in DV. Seems like Apple messed something up in their DV encoding, my guess they’re having to fix it and in the meantime reverting to HDR only. No doubt DV will be back as soon as they’ve fixed and re-rendered everything.
