Steps to reproduce the bug

I have been subscribed to these channels for a long time now and have either watched or marked as watched all of the videos, including shorts. The other day, when I refreshed my feed, a bunch of shorts (just shorts) from several different channels reappeared on my sub feed as if they hadn't been watched and I cannot get rid of them. Marking as watched or actually watching and refreshing the feed doesn't help. When I open the video, the state of the player shows as if it has been watched completely, but on the sub feed there's no progress bar on the thumbnail. There are about 40 of these shorts, some from a couple days ago, but there's everything up to >2months. Here's a list of some of the shorts:

Sorry that I don't have a proper repro here, I'd be happy to provide any more details that I can, just lmk what could be useful. I've attached logs and a screen recording below as well

Expected behavior

If I could at least force hide these videos from the sub feed, that'd already be very helpful
