Auto Reject for Spend Authorized Internal Supplier Registration Request is not working

During 24B, the auto-reject approval rule for spend authorized stopped working. I went in to multiple dev environments and disabled/reenables the approval rules and got the requests to auto-reject. However, in a couple of the environments, the rule is still not working. All rules are set up the same.

I have put in a SR and they are telling me to create rules independently. I have never heard of this. I am asking the tech for more information on the independent rules.

Has anyone else had this happen?
