Guardian Boundary while Looking Down - How to Turn Off?

Suspend
Explorer
Hey everyone, a few weeks ago I found I setting that turns on the floor boundary overlay when you look down.  I thought it might be a cool idea but now, it's driving me nuts and I can't find where to turn it off.  I think it might have been under "experiments" but there's nothing there now.  Maybe the feature was removed?  If so, how do I get my settings back to normal?  Please help!!

Guardian settings are accessible while in home.  Using your RIGHT controller bring up your settings.  The Guardian settings are in there.

I don't see that setting anywhere, that's why I think it was removed.  This is a floor boundary that appears when you tilt your head downward.  Not the regular guardian boundary when you get close to the limits.  This appears when you tilt your head.  Super annoying because it constantly overlays games when you look around.

It was not removed.  I can turn it on and off when the instructions I gave you.

I appreciate your help but the Left controller brings up the "house" settings.  Like your places, inventory, notifications and preferences.  I looked all thru preferences and I don't see anything having to do with "look down to overlay floor boundary" or anything similar.  Can you help me find the setting?

I also turned this "feature" on a while ago. I can't find the setting anywhere to turn it off.

(V16.0.0.118.452) Shown in the Desktop App.
(V16.0.0.117.452) Shown on Left Button display in Home.

Who knows who has what version (and combination of "features") on what device. It's a mess.

I say draw a line in the sand. Leave CV1 with working software. Do the "improvement stuff for S and Quest. If it's good enough, CV1 users will update and move on. This one size fits all stuff is rubbish.

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

Maybe you need to uninstall, reinstall and go through the setup again?  Glad I never turned this on, lol!

That is a HUGE P.I.T.A.

The last time I did it was when we were still on V15....perhaps a V16 Bug?  Will log in and see if it changed.

funniest thing is that even if you turn off your guardian system completely, guardian boundries still appears if you glance down.

Please fix this! This setting was under the "experiments" but the option is not there anymore.

I'm having trouble finding where the setting has been moved to as well. Using V16.0.0.118.452. It's active, but it's not in experiments anymore, so I can't turn it off. It's a useful feature, but it's also annoying without a way to disable it depending on circumstances.
