Can you try to upgrade once more? To what driver version did you upgrade?
Are you really sure, it starts here:
Jan 22 00:31:44 homesrv nginx: 2022/01/22 00:31:44 [error] 7324#7324: *204 limiting requests, excess: 20.896 by zone "authlimit", client: 10.20.1.3, server: , request: "GET /login HTTP/2.0", host: "homesrv.local", referrer: "https://homesrv.local/Dashboard"
and ends here:
Jan 22 06:16:53 homesrv nginx: 2022/01/22 06:16:53 [error] 7324#7324: *95117 limiting requests, excess: 20.571 by zone "authlimit", client: 10.20.1.3, server: , request: "GET /login HTTP/2.0", host: "homesrv.local", referrer: "https://homesrv.local/Tools/Update"
You smashed the button for about 6 hours...
