Same profile picture for different Mac users

Ever since the pandemic started here in Brazil, I have worked from home using my personal Mac. I currently have two users: one for my personal stuff and other for work stuff. Both are synced to my Apple ID, but I was able to set different picture profiles for each. Until today.

All of a sudden, both users began to show my Apple ID profile picture. If I try to change it, that new image is synced across all of my devices as my default profile picture. I know it sounds nitpicking, but this is really annoying for me.

Is there a way to "unlink" these pictures like it used to be?

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
