Putting all of that under defaults did the trick. I couldn't make heads or tales out of the 'test version' lol.

Your solution will work for a while, until it just doesn't. Everyone here has tried every possible combination of these settings. The only thing that will permanently fix these ongoing problem(s) is if AO3 finally manages to address their ongoing server issues. Which, based upon how long this has been going on, doesn't appear likely to be happening anytime soon.
And, regarding the test version. Simply stated, the test version
is literally a version of FFF provided to users to test bug fixes, FFF changes, and/or new features between the official FFF releases. It doesn't work any differently than any other version of FFF except that you have to manually load it into Calibre.
The only time to use the test version is if you are having problems with FFF that are specifically addressed by the test version in @JimmXinu's announcement post for that test version.
To use the test version, all you have to do is download it from the official test version link in the 2nd post in this board (a link to that post is always located at the bottom of any of @JimmXinu's posts). Save the test version of the FFF plugin in a location where you can find it, and use the "Load plugins from file" option in the Plugins section of Calibre's Advanced preferences to load it into Calibre. When you do this, the test version of the FFF plugin will simply replace the most recent installed official version. Always restart Calibre after installing plugins.
And, when you are running a test version, always watch for subsequent test versions as it may take more than one release to address an issue before it is finally rolled into the next official release.
