Slightly related to this, I have issue with the "Everyone except external users" on Public groups! I want to make an exception and give them Read permissions. As a result, "Everyone except external users" is stored in the underlying Visitors (Read) group. After a couple of days, "Everyone except external users" is back in the Members group and have back their Edit permissions.
This is not a single event - this is the case for all our Public O365 Groups where we want to give them only Read permissions. Anyone has the same issues on their tenant? Ours is located in W-Europe.

I have the exact same issue where I change the permission from edit to read for "Everyone Except External Users" on a "Public" goup site. Sometime after 1 minute or a 1 day it goes back to Edit. At the begining I thought it was related to SP groups I was adding to the site permissions but I noticed it was occurng also on sites where I was just switching permission from edit to read for "Everyone Except External Users".
For me this is a huge security issue. One of my customer found out the issue and do not trust permissions in SharePoint anymore. Issue observed in US and Canada tenants.
I've submitted a case to Microsoft today...
