macOS menu bar icon flashes second Plex icon

Working on my Mac, I’ve noticed annoying flashes in the corner of my screen on the menubar.

The new icon flashes very briefly then disappears. I thought it was something like a Location permissions icon being triggered by Safari…

This annoying flash happens approximately every 20-30 seconds.

I recorded my screen, and it turns out it’s a second Plex server icon in the menu bar.

If I open Activity Monitor and filter for “plex”, the running processes remain constant during the flash. I had assumed maybe a second copy of Plex Media Server was starting? But that is not visible via Activity Monitor.

What’s causing this second icon? How can I fix this bug?

Makes using my Mac very annoying.

This is incredibly annoying when working on my Mac.

No one else is experiencing this bug?
