Brush switches to eraser automatically

I use a general hard brush to draw and for the eraser I use a general hard brush as well. After some time the brush switches automatically to the eraser tool. I press "b" to switch back to the brush. As soon as my pen touches the Cintiq 22 inch it switches back to the eraser. I switch to another brush and the problem remains. If I save and restart PS the problem is gone. But it eventually comes back ... 

 

Mac OS 12.6

PS 2023 24.0.0

Dude.  This nightmare has plagued me for years.  Assuming this works, THANK YOU.

Furthermore, what a terrible feature.  Adobe should get rid of it all together or have it OFF by default
