Watch Together keeps showing "connection lost" modal every few minutes

Server Version#: 1.42.1.10060 (docker on unraid)
Player Version#: Plex web 4.147.1

I’m having basically the same issue as this guy: Lost connection to the Watch Together session every few minutes

Two people trying to watch a show together, it worked great for the first two seasons, but since ~last week Plex has been opening a dialog every few minutes for the person on the same LAN as the server, claiming the watch together connection was lost. Meanwhile the video keeps playing correctly in the background (and in the foreground for the other person) until the dialog is closed, then it dies as soon as the X on the dialog is clicked.

The other person can even pause the session and the pause propogates, so the dialog is just plain wrong. The connection is clearly fine.

I’m thinking about adding an ad blocker rule to hide the dialog, but I wanted to check in here and see if anyone had any better ideas first - I’m a little worried about missing out on legitimate messages if I hide this bogus one.
