We have received a few reports from users on v7.61 mentioning that auto-archive is still occurring, even when that setting is set to 'Never' in the app. It seems to be just a few users affected.

This issue is now being discussed in the forums: Played downloaded podcasts now automatically getting archived and deleted.

I think I am running into an on-again off-again issue where downloads once played, are auto-archiving and thus deleted. This has happened in the past and is occurring again (a new set of updates caused this issue (IIRC) seemed cause and then to resolve it in 2023.)
I just realized I’m getting the same thing. I don’t synchronizewith any other devices. I’m running Android 14 on a Pixel 5 with Pocket Casts version 7.61-rc-3.
I’m also affected. This is a fairly recent change, and adjusting the settings in the app (android, build 9210) doesn’t fix it. I had it set to 24 hours auto archiving, and now it’s off, but the episodes are still archived.
Yes I nnoticed I was having the same problem, but now I’ve also noticed for certain podcasts new episodes are getting archived before I’ve even played them. I’m not even receiving a notification that a new episode is available it’s like the episode is getting archived as soon as it’s available.
This is still happening in 7.62-rc-3 (9216).
