[SOLVED] Bluetooth headset with mic does not work

Hi. So I have a OnePlus Nord Buds 3 earbuds that I daily drive, and everything was working fine.

One day, I updated my system and now whenever I play audio, it does this:

> plays for 10 seconds
> then stops
> then my bluetooth disconnects
> my buds reset to factory settings. I can tell this because I have the noise cancellation off, but whenever it does this reset thing, it turns on the noise cancellation. It also resets my other configs (e.g. double tap to play/pause instead of single tap).
> after some time, it reconnects again
> then it plays for 20 seconds
> then stops
> and this process repeats again

One more thing I've noticed is that earlier, it did not detect my mic. But ever since it started doing that, this error has crept in.

I don't use the mic on my earbuds on my pc at all, so I'm fine with sacrificing it.

Other bluetooth audio devices don't show this behavior, such as my speaker.
I've tried everything to fix this, even reinstalled arch completely, but the problem persists.

System Information:
- OS: Arch Linux x86_64
- Kernel: Linux 6.12.63-1-lts
- DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.4
- Latest version of every package
