Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Chrome using MetaMask 12.17.0 with the extension permission set to “when you click the extension,” then inspect the extension logs and connection behavior. Done means the Ethereum network connects and the amount updates normally under that permission setting, while still working with “On all sites.”
