Having trouble updating NVIDIA 580xx drivers

I'm on EndeavourOS XFCE, running the LTS kernel (6.18.40-1-lts). I tried to update my nvidia-580xx-dkms and nvidia-580xx-utils packages today and got this error:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: installing nvidia-580xx-utils (580.178.04-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-580xx-utils=580.173.02' required by nvidia-580xx-dkms

I don't recall seeing this error on previous updates.

There's also a kernel update waiting in the official repo (6.18.40 → 6.18.44). I don't want to install the kernel update until I resolve the nvidia issue in case the old nvidia driver is not compatible with the new kernel.

It's annoying that I have to install the nvidia drivers from the AUR but that's my only option for my GTX 1070.

How should I proceed in a way that is safe and doesn't break my system?

How do I reach the advanced search limit when I don't use advanced models?

I have the Perplexity Pro plan and I get the message 'You've reached the weekly advanced search limit' every day this week even though I never chose any advanced models. Why?
