It's not clear which version of car you have, or where and how the OS resets itself.
I saw this today too in light rain. I'll have to try the voice command. Haven't been using those much lately. Just got 2021.4.3.

This update fixes the brightness of the backup camera on cars with the MCU2 upgrade.

The washer/wiper button on the left stalk works fine on my Model 3m When I press it, it brings up the wiper speed menu. I otherwise usually leave the wipers on auto.

That happens to me as well, but it usually slows down within 4-5 seconds. It's not too annoying. It used to be worse but it's gotten better. I think it takes some time to "calibrate."
update from Tesla,
They are removing the cumbersome separate brake and acceleration pedals and replacing them with a single pedal. The car will use its surroundings and navigation data to determine if you want to make your passengers blackout or choke them with the seatbelt.
it’s funny now, but just wait.... it’s coming.
As for the wipers... rainX. No wipers needed! Lol. Auto does work....kinda. It has its moments when it’s perfect, but if it’s dark and you pass under a street light the camera sees all the rain it “missed”, and they go bonkers for a few mins. Still with the rainX, auto works fine for me 95% of the time.
I haven’t had my MY long, but has there been any substantial improvement on the auto wiper functionality? Seams like if it’s fixable with the current hardware, then it shouldn’t take that long if a team of software engineers spent some time with it.
Maybe it’s on the back burner?
Have you tried voice commands.
push right button on wheel. Turn wipers on.

what we need is simply that a double tap increases the speed and a trippletap decreases it or smth.
Maybe Tesla could invent a wiper control on it’s own stalk? With haptic feedback of on/off, and a rotary dial for speed, on the end of the stalk? It might work so well, for EVERYBODY, that it wouldn’t even be a forum discussion item. Seriously though, I am glad to have a forum to come to to learn how to deal with things I never gave a thought to, driving my previous 3 Mazdas.

I guess that is one plus for X/S is we have the wiper controls on the turn signal stalk.
Just got the update. One thing I noticed today: When pulling up to a line of cars stopped at a red light, a red "STOP" appeared on the driver visualization display. While I was approaching the car in front of me slightly fast, my car still stopped in time with just a pedal lift/regen. But I've never seen that "STOP" alert before.
Hydrosilex ceramic spray works on all my vehicles, including a Mercedes E, a 4WD FUSO dump truck, Kubota Skidsteer and, from Sept20, a LR AWD Y. The only wiper function I've used in years is "Maintenance Mode" to occasionally 'Invisible Glass' dirty windshields and wiper blades and then add another quick coat of HS... I'm a fan of our amazing nano technology.

I'm not sure if this is new for this version, but I'm seeing "better" merging prediction with this update. Today, my car was slowing down very early for a car that was merging into my lane on the highway, based on the merging cars calculated acceleration and distance to merge.
In one instance, my car slowed down for the merging car well in advance. In another, the car slowed down for 1 second and then decided it would overtake the merging car because of its predicted speed / merging time.
