C720 powers off when turning floodlight off

I installed my C720 camera a few months ago, and it has been working great at first.
Recently I noticed the camera was offline. It appears that whenever I switch the floodlight off in the tapo app, the entire device powers off (I can see the status led, usually on, suddenly turning off; streaming in the app stops instantly, and it soon appears offline in the app), and I need to open the breaker then close the circuit back, at which point the c720 restarts and works as if nothing happened - until I turn on the floodlight then turn it back off.
If I don't turn on the floodlight, it can stay on for a while. As long as I leave the floodlight on, it also works. Whenever that floodlight stops, the device powers off.
It wasn't happening before, so maybe it's a recent firmware update? But if the firmware build number 240823 means 2024-08-23 then I guess it's been like this for a while a did not change, in which case it's a hardware fault?
