It activated a different mode of debug than what you expected
because that command is an alias that was not updated.

The correct command is "pri set debug {on|off|intense} span x".
The "pri intense debug span x" command is an alias for
"pri set debug 2 span x" that didn't get updated when the real
command was changed to "pri set debug intense span x".

This will show the help you need:
bas1104*CLI> help pri set debug off span
