Azure Function App - "ERROR: The term 'Connect-AzAccount' is not recognized"

I have a function app that has a queue trigger to run an Invoke-AzRunCommand on an Azure VM that was working just fine a couple of weeks ago. It is not used that often but when trying today, I'm seeing the following in my logs: "The Function app may be missing a module containing the 'Disable-AzContextAutosave' command definition."

Per a thread I found searching for the error - I added the following 'Az.Accounts' to the requirements.psd1 file like so - I have no idea about versioning:

@{
    # For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'. 
    # To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below.
    'Az'          = '9.*'
    'Az.Accounts' = '2.*'
}

I did get this to work when running from 'Code + Test' but when trying to run via web app - it fails with the above error.

I didn't even know where it was being called and then found it in the profiles.ps1 file. I'm assuming this is needed since I'm using the System Assigned identity:

if ($env:MSI_SECRET) {
    Disable-AzContextAutosave -Scope Process | Out-Null
    Connect-AzAccount -Identity
}

How do I get passed this error?

In the Configuration the Runtime Version is ~4 with no other options in the drop-down:

    So I went out to check out the versions of each of these modules and noticed that they were both updated a few days ago - hard coding these to the previous versions worked:

    @{
        # For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'. 
        # To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below.
        'Az'          = '9.5.0'
        'Az.Accounts' = '2.12.1'
    }
