Can't change profile in Openwrt

I've been using Nextdns on my Openwrt based router for quite some time (perhaps a year or so) without trouble however  I'm having trouble getting it to recognize/use a different profile ID.  From the command lineI used:

nextdns config set -profile bba678
nextdns restart

to set the new profile (this is just a test profile that I set up in the nextdns web interface) and sure enough "nextdns config" shows the correct info however when I go to the profile page in my browser my router appears to still be using the old profile. I've tried restarting my router, uninstalling / reinstalling nextdns, removing the luci interface (in case it was pulling settings from elsewhere) etc.  but I'm out of ideas.  FWIW I'm using a somewhat dated version of Openwrt and the latest version of nextdns in the repos is 1.39 if that matters.  I really don't want to update Openwrt at this time if I can avoid it but I'm open to grabbing a newer nextdns from another source of there is a chance that could help. 

Any thoughts?
