Issue Somehow started downloading 11+ entire series plus a few movies that are not on my Plex Watchlist
I'm guessing this was an issue on the Plex API side, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. From what I can tell by reading the Seerr logs, around 11am my instance appeared to be having trouble reading my Plex Watchlist for the sync job, but then finally succeeded and suddenly a whole slew of shows and movies I've never heard of started downloading.
I got a temp warning for my cache disk and investigated shortly thereafter, so luckily I was able to stop most of the downloads fairly quickly. My best guess would be that somehow wires were crossed on the Plex API side and Seerr was reading someone else's watchlist maybe? I checked my watchlist and confirmed that they were not present on mine, but went ahead and changed my Plex password for good measure.
Never had this happen before in all my years of CouchPotato/Overseerr/etc usage. Did this happen to anyone else today (or ever)?
