Every now and then pihole will lose connection to the api. This doesnt seem to happen in any particular pattern and I havent been able to track down why it is doing it. When the connection to the api is down, I dont see anything using port 53 (via the following cmd: sudo lsof -i :53 +c 0 | awk 'FNR==2{ print $1 }'), and if i type pihole restartdns, it will generally restart after a couple mins.
Current version (guessing that the latest error part is because the connection is currently down)
Pi-hole version is v4.3.2 (Latest: ERROR)
AdminLTE version is v4.3.2 (Latest: ERROR)
FTL version is v4.3.1 (Latest: ERROR)

Expected Behaviour:
on the web interface dashboard I expect to see graphs indicating blocked Adds
Actual Behaviour:
I see spinning arrows instead of graphs and “lost connection to api” at the top of the page.
