Adaptive-Sync refresh rate becomes unstable after log out

The refresh rate stays constantly at 160Hz when I enter the desktop, but once I log out and log in again, it keeps jumping between 138Hz and 160Hz.

The adaptive-sync is set to automatic mode.

It seems to happen since linux 6.10 kernel was released, but I don't have older kernel, I can't test it.

GPU: AMD RX6750XT

ArchLinux.

      VAProfileAV1Profile0            : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone                   : VAEntrypointVideoProc

It also happens if I turn off the screen and turn it back on.

The problem is gone if the refresh rate is <=119.94Hz, everything >120Hz has this problem.
There is no way to select 119.94Hz in Plasma6, only Gnome can do it.

If I set the GPU performance mode in CoreCtrl to Fixed, it doesn't happen anymore!
Is it a bug of AMDGPU driver??
