Brown rice not turning out anymore, please help

Need some help with my brown rice. I have an 8qt Instant Pot.

The first time it turned out perfectly. The last 3 times there was still quite a bit of water left and the rice wasn't cooked.

The method I used is 2 cups of brown rice and 2 1/2 cups of water. Pressure cook on high for 22 min then natural release for 10.

Same instant pot, same brand of rice.

What is going wrong?

Too much water. After you rinsed your rice, add the same quantity of water (a cup of cup of water for a cup of rice) minus one or two tablespoons because your rice is already wet. The rest should be fine. Personally, I cook my rice with a pot in pot to avoid any risk of burn signal and make it easier to clean.

Long grain? Looks like you're doing everything right according to the guide I use except a tiny bit too much water: https://greenhealthycooking.com/instant-pot-rice/

:/ Is other stuff turning out okay in your pot?

I've got a braised beef going right now. I should know shortly.

The beef turned out fine.

That's pretty close to what I do 25 vs 22 minutes but shouldn't make that much difference. Something else is going on.
