I change it in settings, don’t write a note for a few days, and then when I go to write a new daily note it no longer uses the right format.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N] I did, but as this bug is inconsistent and takes a bit of time I was unable to recreate it in sandbox.
Expected result
It should save the format
Actual result
It does not.

Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
Where is your vault on disk? Is it a sync folder like iCloud Drive or something like that?
Settings randomly reverting is sometimes caused by an older version of the settings file being downloaded and/or the settings file itself being removed, so Obsidian creates a new one with the default settings.
The Daily notes settings you’ve changed are saved in {VAULT-NAME}/.obsidian/daily-notes.json.
That cloud icon to the right of the folder there is bad. It means not all of the files in that folder are downloaded locally to disk. You could try right clicking on folders with that icon and Download now (or something similar).
iCloud Drive is generally alright on macOS devices, in my experience, but you’ll want to make sure System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud -> Optimize Mac Storage is disabled. That can cause issues if it’s enabled, like files being randomly removed from your device.
