I was flying in manual mode in low light and when done I breaked and tried to auto land, like I had done hunderds of times before even at night.
But I just updated to the latest avata 2 firmware and also switched off landing protection.

Without landing protection, does that mean that there is no more auto land or is this a bug?

HI there, thank you for reaching out. Kindly take note that in Normal mode or Sport mode, DJI Avata 2 features downward and backward vision sensing which provide perception for landing protection. However,  in Manual mode, the vision sensing feature is not supported.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Hi there, thank you for the response. Kindly try refresh the firmware and try switch on the landing protection. Also, make sure the  landing ground meets the conditions for example, whether the ground is flat, whether there is a water surface. For drones with a landing protection function, when the Downward Vision System works and the ground does not meet the landing conditions, the aircraft will hover and wait for the your further operation. If the issue persists, kindly perform sensor calibration.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

You noted you switched off landing protection.  
Haven't updated the firmware.  From what others have posted it seems if in N or S mode and auto landing is toggled off you no longer have auto landing, but at least now you can over at sub 0.3m and not go into auto landing. I might be wrong.  If so, an issue.  If not. Everything is good. And I might update just for that option.

I went home and recreated low light conditions without making any changes and did two auto landings with no problem

This must be a new bug because I have made hundreds of low light auto landing, never had any issues.
Apperently on the latest firmware it does not work that good any more in low light.  I'll make a bunch more in low light and see if it happens again.

Landing protection is NOT auto landing. I haven't really played around with landing protection but I don't think I need it.  In normal mode or sport mode the only way to land is auto landing, except if you set up a motor emergency stop  then you can make it fall out of the air.
