So I think I figured mine out...Do you happen to use Frigate NVR or any other NVR that uses object detection running under docker on your Unraid box? I do and I also live in the midwest. I hadn't put two and two together on my original reply until a friend of mine and I were talking about it. We had a blizzard this past weekend, and Frigate was having to run object detection on all that blowing snow. In fact, they list that right in their documentation.
So what was happening for me, is that Frigate was going crazy because of the weather. My issue was unrelated to Unraid.
