Chiming in with another Framework experience. I've talked about it plenty on HN before but generally speaking my maxed-out Intel 11th Gen Framework has been the most regrettable large technology purchase of my life. Bugs like the one you've described are just the beginning. BTW, they did acknowledge their culpability in this somewhat and finally released a BIOS update for this issue in August of last year. However, that doesn't do you any good as you're already in your situation. The BIOS alone clearly has many outstanding bugs and with the release of the Intel 12th Gen Frameworks the 11th Gen has been all but forgotten by Framework. Just looking at the list of issues they addressed in a recently announced[0] BIOS update for 12th Gen (no mention of 11th Gen) gives you an idea of the issues present (and more) in the 11th Gen. For many of us our laptops are our tools for our livelihoods. As painful as it was to write-off a $2500 purchase I finally gave up, went out and bought a MacBook Pro at less than half the price, and have been infinitely happier since. The lesson here is - hardware is hard and fundamental. Buying hardware from a startup is generally a bad idea.
