Thanks for reporting. Yes, this is likely due to an auto compaction. We've received other reports of this behavior and are looking at ways to fix it.
Since we're already tracking this, I'm going to close it as a duplicate of #10346
Suffering from this as well, A LOT since 5.4 btw
+1 I've been having this issue for a few months. Really frustrated, especially when they repeated the long answers.
