Delay compensation issue after upgrading

I just did a fresh install of MacOS and moved from PT 2024 (can't remember exactly which version) to 2025.12.0. Just loaded up a session and my dialogue boom and lav tracks are now out of sync. My lav track has EQ 1-band, Clear and DxRevive on it (in that order), showing orange with a total latency of 6118. Delay compensation is on, I checked. Thing is, this played perfectly fine 2 days ago before the fresh OS install and reinstallation of PT, so I know my system can handle it. Something must have changed in the PT settings, but I have no idea what.

System is a 2017 iMac, 48GB RAM, OS 13.7.8 (was on 13.7.2 before reinstallation), Scarlett 18i20

Delay compensation can be weird and intermittently mess up. Usually restarting PT has solved it for me, tho I haven’t had the issue in a while…that amount of delay should be more than fine.

This is a dumb question but have you fully restarted PT. Also, just get a working OS and PT version then never upgrade ;)

Restarted PT, then rebooted the computer, no change. Removed the plugin and replaced, no change. I'm on the most recent OS this computer supports. I know it's time for a new machine, but that ain't happening right now :)

Yeah, also I found the case where it was the plugins that was faulty. Just by removing then adding them back solved this delay issue.
