AirSense not working with Air 3S/RC2

Just got an Air 3S with RC2 and have taken it out a few times. Not sure why, but AirSense doesn't seem to be working at all.

I'm coming from an Air 2 with the non-smart controller hooked up to a phone. It's very clear I _should_ be seeing planes, because I'd see traffic all the time at my usual spots right on the edge of Class C airspace with the old controller and drone. I check FlightAware and definitely see traffic that I should be seeing on the RC2, and no. Yesterday I saw a plane within a thousand feet and up about a thousand, got no notification, but the plane was transmitting via ADS-B, visible on FlightAware.

I've checked the firmware and I'm up to date. Went to Safety -> Advanced Safety Settings -> And AirSense is turned on. I turned it off and on again just to make sure I wasn't missing some hidden acknowledgment. On the map view, I click the plane icon and have it set to "low, medium, high collision risk"

Does this require data/Wi-Fi to be on? I have the controller using my phone's hotspot via Wi-Fi. I read something about the connection not being on when the motors are running? Does this matter?

Is this a known issue? Anything else I may have missed here?
