UniFi UAP AC Pro switch to 80 MHz

My UAP AC Pro have started switching over to 80 MHz wide channels rather than staying with the manually configured width. I can’t seem to find a setting to prevent this from happening.

I don’t have the Auto-Optimize Network setting enabled.

Any suggestions on how to stop this behavior?

Ah wait, going into the new settings something called WiFi AI was enabled, this I disabled and will follow up on if that changes things.

That did the trick, I hate it when interfaces are designed with a split between new and old and neither contains all the features.

In 40MHz, you will not get as many channels as 20MHz, but you can still get 12 non-overlapping channels if you use it with a frequency of 5MHz. You can use this channel bandwidth with 2.4GHz and 5GHz. If you need a higher data transfer rate, you should go for 80MHz.
