You might be referring to my post over there. Though I changed mine to 25 instead of 40.

Been going a little over 4 hrs without any errors. I also made a few more changes before this which did seem to help, but ultimately this is what seems to have solved it.

Now it might start throwing errors again when I make this post, but so far this has been the longest since V6 that I have gone without errors.
