This morning, for the first time, and an unnown reason, I saw this log:

Patronictl list gave for the replica:

I wonder what happened.

restarting the pod worked.

I noticed it with increase cpu usage on our object storage ingress.

I think it would be nice to show the CRD status to something like degraded in this case.
