Current status of RT-AX53U?

I can't seem to get the general opinion on whether it's because of a firmware version issue and that downgrading it will help or something else entirely is the problem...

I'm on firmware version (23.05.2) it works as intended but under long usage either my WAN cable is bad (?) or one of the options could be causing this issue which I've retrieved from my logs.

When searching the first line of the log the GitHub thread I've linked seems to point out that Software and Hardware offloading seems to cause this...?

I'm also facing a similar issue as this post.

After my wan interface is down and comes back up it starts struggling to reconnect to the internet and the log messages keep spamming

Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery

Is there a root cause for this or maybe it's two entirely different issues?

FYI: No issues and such kind of logs on my Asus RT-AX53U: OpenWRT 23.05.2 and WAN link is via PPPoE.

PPPoE issues are something entirely different.
