Randomized MAC dysfunction

Hello to All,
The randomized MAC feature has apparently become static. When connecting to the local wifi, instead of showing a different MAC and IP address, it remains the same. This is with the randomized MAC feature enabled. It used to work previously by choosing a new random MAC and IP address. No more.
Any idea what may be happening. Using a Pixel 5.

when I looked at this the last time, the device didn’t support it, but Pixels supported this for a long time.

Did you explicitly enable it for the local wifi, or keep it on standard (that is too - enabled) ?

Is the MAC stable even across reboots ?

Allright Everybody
Was able to solve the issue. Android 12 and up initially is set to a persistent MAC randomization, by default. Going into Settings > Developer options > Networking > WiFi non-persistent MAC randomization > enable !!
Allright !!
