Suddenly multiple extra backups?

Honestly I'm not 100% this problem is with Dropbox Sync addon but for now this is the best guess.

The addon has been syncing a lot of unwanted extra backups lately. I have a scheduled automation that creates a backup every night around 4 am. It worked fine for the first months and now I've gotten couple backups now and then around the 4 am timeslot. Plus multiple more in the last ~2 weeks. Some nights I get 5, some nights just 1.

  1. There are no extra snapshots in the Hass.io snapshot UI.
  2. All the backup filenames and file sizes in the Dropbox folder are different.
  3. I run Hass.io on Rpi
  4. I've had multiple different Hass.io versions while this problem has been occurring but I've mostly updated to the newest version within a week of it's release.
  5. Today a friend of mine mentioned he had the same problem. He hasn't touched his very minimal configuration / setup in weeks and the problem started out of nowhere for him too.

I'll be happy to provide more info if it would be helpful.

The addon itself is great and somewhat critical to me. My backup files are around 400mb each and my Dropbox's new favorite thing is to shout about storage space being full, so I'd love for this matter to get solved :)
