If that problem is still being addressed by "switch it off and then on again", that sounds exactly like the kind of problem that shouldn't be allowed to exist. It'd be in the same category as the MAX anti-ice issue - a note to pilots is not enough. I'm not certain of the current status of that issue, but I really hope it has been fully addressed.
The bug has been addressed by the new software, but it requires the operator to install the new software. This is a Chilean aircraft, so it's up to them to keep up, and they have had 5-6 years to do so. This time interval wasn't something for the pilots to manage but for the maintainers.
