Failed to remove stale contact: variable - Error: EventType.ERROR, Code: 2

I'm getting this error over and over on two different bots (bot-van, bot-islands) and can't figure out where it's coming from. Only crops up after running for a while, and then I'll see hundreds of them. The only way to clear it is to restart the bot.

Ah, forgot to note that I'm using v0.9.0 - one is running on a pi4 running ubuntu, the other on a pi5 running ubuntu.
