Once upon a time Jean-Francois Laplante shaped the electrons to say...

Sounds normal - either a busy network or a busy RADIUS server delaying the
reply.

I'd report this as a bug to IEA. Why aren't they simply closing the DB
record with the first stop and discarding the duplicates?

No, it cannot.
