Why do I keep starting games at a low height?

I just got a Quest 3 yesterday and it's my first VR headset ever. I think I've set it up correctly (ran the Meta play space setup and linked to my PC and did the SteamVR room setup as well), but after I set my headset down on my desk to take a short break it hasn't really been calibrating my height correctly. I keep starting games with in-game bodies at a crouching height.

I started by re-centering in the SteamVR menu, but it only makes things worse and puts my head in a weirder spot. Then I re-ran the SteamVR room setup, but it still consistently happens. Am I doing something wrong? What's the easiest way to fix this?

    If you have "use apps while lying down" enabled try disabling it.

    I've sent bug reports in on this issue for several releases now. It seems to come and go with each update.
