Tried grinding beans finer than usual and got a muddy mess in my French press

Last Sunday I decided to grind my Costa Rican beans at a setting 2 instead of my usual 4 on my Baratza Encore. The brew came out super thick and cloudy, and when I pressed the plunger down it got stuck halfway. I learned that finer grinds work better for espresso but not for a French press where you want coarse particles. Has anyone else had a similar surprise when testing different grind sizes?
