PVE 8.1: Nut - lost USB connection to UPS after 1.5 days

[simi]

After upgrading to PVE 8.1 (8.1.4) I am having a problem with the USB connection to my UPS (Salicru / Phoenixtec Power Co.) which gets lost after apprx 1.5 days. It was properly working under PVE 7.x. When I restart the server or reconnect the USB cable manually it is working for another 1.5 days before it fails again. I changed the USB cable and the USB port without any effect.

The log file gets flooded by this:

What could I try to do to solve this issue. It is strange that it is always stops working after 1.5 days...

Thanks

Did you ever resolve this? I am also getting "Data for UPS is stale - check driver" since upgrading from Proxmox 7 to 8 and it's also affecting another USB device (a Zigbee stick).

The latest thing I've tried is "Use USB Port" instead of "Use USB Vendor/Device ID" for the passhtrough of the UPS USB connection to the VM, hope it will resolve this very annoying issue.
