Supercell has also announced that they have fixed a few issues around certain Brawlers in the Brawl Stars Maintenance Break of March 27, 2025. These are:

Ash, Lola, and Buster can no longer charge their Hypercharge while it's still active.
Patched an issue where players couldn't change the loadout of specific Brawlers (Sam, Meg, Mandy, Carl, Grom, Chester, MrP, Bea, Mandy, Hank, Bo, Lola) with unlocked Hyperchages before playing a Ranked match above Mythic.
