EAP-650 1.0.13 firmware randomly dropping 2.4Ghz client after some time.

I have two EAP650s running the latest 1.0.13 firmware. I have been experiencing an issue with both units where after some random period of time, my 2.4Ghz clients (mostly IOT type stuff) stop working. They still show up in the list of clients, but the devices themselves don't work. If I restart the AP, the devices re-connect and work correctly. It's happening with both APs. I have a 2.4Ghz only SSID that is unique to each AP that these devices are connected to.

Is there any fix that's planned in the pipeline? It's been over a year now and this issue still persists, unbelievable.

@FooFoo9 I am back on 1.0.91 that I got again from support and its been stable for me. It sounds like they are investigating how to migrate those changes in 1.0.91 into the 1.1.0 releases because they said their had been a lot of changes.
Very frustrating though. I had been looking at maybe upgrading to a competitors Wifi 7 product but firmware there is just as bad for iot stuff right now.

I notice it mostly happens at 6am for some reason. I checked your one of your pictures and it also happened at 6am. So as a temporary workaround I set a reboot schedule for the EAP at 6am everyday. Hope it helps with support team in troubleshooting.

This is definitely not a time related issue, I have these drops at all times of the day. Even with 1.0.91 there are days where I have to reboot the device multiple times a day.
BUT meanwhile I suspect some client devices triggering this issue. So it might make sense for you to check if there are any devices that have scheduled activities/tasks at 6am. E.g. I noticed more than once that this issue occurs exactly when another household member arrives at home with her Apple devices.

So support had me update to 1.1.0 and change the 2.4G Beacon interval to 50 from 100. Its been 2 days and no issues so far but I also don't really understand the downside of doing this.
