Wrong IP Shown in Menu

I reset my router and my IP changed. IP Tracker caught the update and notified me, but the wrong IP text is shown in the menu. Clicking on the old IP in the menu copies the new (correct) IP to the clipboard.

IPTracker icon shows in the dock but does not show the IP in the menu bar. I downloaded 1.0.3 release. I'm running Ventura 13.5 on 2019 Intel MacBook Pro. Here is output from command line:
