Authentication failure Errors in pod logs

Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

• Which image of the operator are you using? registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.7.1
• Where do you run it - cloud or metal? Kubernetes or OpenShift? Rancher k8
• Are you running Postgres Operator in production? Yes
• Type of issue? Error

After the recent upgrade from 1.6.0 to v1.7.1(runs as a nonroot user), noticed that the pod logs throw the below error at regular intervals(5 min). Currently it is not affecting the working of the cluster but curious to know the reason behind this error. Would appreciate insights
