The only way you can go down versions is with a total clean install. Dev is build 22543.1000 and Beta is build 22000.469. Ensure you backup any important data first. You have never been able to go backwards with build versions.

Microsoft can't possibly be that dumb. I was told I would automatically be moved from the Dev channel to one of the other two but that never happened. I will continue my pursuit of a reasonable resolution. If I don't receive one it may be time to say good bye to anything Microsoft.
There is no other reasonable solution than to clean install.
Your build is expired and in limbo.
Since your PC is not Windows 11 compatible you can't go
forwards.
Clean install is your only option.
And there was plenty of information and options offered
to Insiders 6+ months ago.
This is the article I was trying to find:
The option of being moved to another channel only applied if
you were an existing Beta Channel.

The only way for you to get off the build you
are on is to Clean install. You are on a build that is expired.
Use the Media Creation Tool here to do a clean install.
Back up all your important files, etc. prior.
