EOS R5 focuses on its own instead of via BBF

I thought I did everything to Set my R5 to back button focusing but now without touching any button, my camera focuses on it's own......continuously. In the custom buttons I have the shutter button control set to metering start and the AF/On control is set at metering and AF start. I must have something set wrong!!

If you look in the Pink section of the menu system, Page 1, and you have continuous autofocus set to ON, turn it OFF.
If you have BBF set, also remember to set the AF Operation to SERVO if you are wanting to track moving subjects. With that setting, for static subjects, you would TAP the AF-On button; for moving ones, HOLD the AF-ON button.
