Issue: Vari-Audio pitch correction off after Bouncing

I recently noticed that, after correcting pitch with Vari-Audio on a guitar part and then bouncing that audio, the pitch comes back way off. Initial pitch is off by +8%, pulled back to pitch and after bounce it’s at +17%. No matter what the pitch starts at, when corrected and bounced, it ends up at +17%.
An old post said something about deleting preferences to correct - I don’t get that…
Is that the right approach or is there something else up?
