octoprint and MK4 adding pauses/filament changes where none belong

I am just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I am running octorprint with my MK4 and it works pretty good most of the time but now it will print the brim of a print and then do a filament change. I did not insert such a change in the printer and it does not exist in the gcode. I am running prusaslicer 2.7.4 and using the most up to date firmware on the MK4 which is the 6.0.0 and octorprint version 1.10.0. I have decided it is either a wifi/network issue (which I am in the process of fixing) or a firmware issue on the printer itself.

RE: octoprint and MK4 adding pauses/filament changes where none belong

I have experienced the same or something similar a few times. The printer goes into "Pause" at the beginning of a print job and I have to press "Continue" either on the printer's display or in OctoPrint. Once I saw that there was a message on the printer's display about "Nozzle cleaning failed" or something like that. Did you notice something similar? Perhaps this is what caused the printer to pause? Anyway, just hitting continue in OctoPrint was all that was required for me to go on with the printing. No unexpected filament changes happened on my printer like you describe.
