After all that big announcement and chaos, Airbnb has not made it so that you can switch back to the old host fee model of 3%! 
 

Very interesting as they made such a big announcement for this change, yet there has been no conversation about this option to switch back.

Hi ​@SethBalogh! We’ve reached out to our contacts at Airbnb to learn more about this, and we’ll update you as soon as we hear back.

I’m confused. Are you saying that we can now switch back to the 3% right fee structure?

We have been having explicit confirmation from the Connectivity team at Airbnb that the ability to switch the software fee is a frontend bug on their side. No one has rolled back the Host-Only Fee (quite the opposite).

There was a big code push yesterday on Airbnb's application that may be the cause of this unintended consequence.

This issue has been escalated internally (at Airbnb).
