Omada constantly assigning IP addresses (almost 1,000 log entries overnight). Small home network.

My network is pretty simple -- I have an ER605, two switches, and two APs. All are up to date. I just upgraded Omada yesterday, and there was an update available for the ER605 as well.
Suddenly, I'm seeing hundreds of alerts informing me that "DHCP Server allocated IP address 192.168.12.x for the client[MAC: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx]." They are sometimes happening every 1 to 3 minutes but a few times it's more than once per minute. Many devices are appearing in these logs, but some of the more frequently seen IPs are an Amazon device, an ESP32 device that sleeps between check-ins, and a Google Home Mini.
I haven't figured out if it's having a significant effect on the network, but it's definitely something new. My log was pretty clear before. What's going on?
EDIT: I downgraded to the previous version of the firmware and it's fine again. I guess I'll wait until the fix.
Hi @FionaEllie
The latest firmware has added a new feature which seems to be the cause of the problem you have here. If you are on the new firmware, you can turn it off. This message does not affect your network functioning. It's a new feature for people who wants to monitor their network with care.
Solution: if you don't want to be notified, uncheck these new added options. Gateway-related alerts will not be recorded and notify you frequently.
