happened to me as well on the previous version of android (12 to 13). Completely wiped everything. Sad day.
At least it's only moderately annoying, right? 😢
Idk where you read that but I think you are stuck now. If you had opted out before taking QPR1, you could have waited for the official Android 14 release and updated to that without wiping. I believe you are going to have to wait for the official QPR1 in December to get back to "stable" with wiping the device. Here's an article on it.
It was in the update message in the system settings itself.
I've opted out of the 13 beta before without wiping when a similar message said I could, but I believe I opted out before even starting the download.
I know I could've waited, but I figured since I was given the chance I would take it and wait before google introduces any new bugs they won't fix until release
Edit: lol in the article it says to just ignore the downgrade prompt, so I guess we're all good
