Sony Bravia TV remote stopped working with Apple TV

I used to be able to control Apple TV with my Sony Bravia TV remote. All of a sudden, two days ago, it stopped working. I have done everything. I can still turn Apple TV on and off but I could no longer navigate. When I try "Learn Remote", it doesn't recognize it. I'm not sure if there was a software update that created this issue.

Update - I found threads on other websites where people were discussing this issue from just this week - some said after the most recent software push 17.4. People were reporting the same thing on other brand TV remotes...Samsung, Panasonic you name it. Some of them sent a bug report to Apple. So I'm sure it'll get fixed. Good thing is it's not just us with the Sony remotes - kind of relieving, because was starting to wonder about my TV.

I got a 2024 Masters Sony Bravia TV. It comes with Quantum Sound System, that unfortunately IS NOT Compatible with my 4K Apple TV Box. The Apple TV CAN ONLY HDR@ 59. Hz (60Hz). So, I had to connect my HDMI to the Arc 120Hz earc, and had to use the other HDMI from my Apple Device to the other Arc channel that only supports HDR not Quantum. I just don’t know how to get all my MANY subscription apps onto my Bravia. The Quantum Sound is Fantastic, but I am at a loss.
