'Set consent mode override' setting in Google tag settings
'…lets you override the default consent settings in your website or app code and instead set the default to "denied" for all regions you choose.'
What it breaks
Nothing breaks; a way to force denied defaults when the code sequencing is wrong.
Who it hits: Anyone whose consent default fires after the tag.
The fix
Prefer the snippet on Consent Initialization; use the override when you cannot control the code.

Consent Mode v2 default snippet
The default-denied block with all four signals (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, analytics_storage), placed before the Google tag, plus the update call your CMP should make.
