OctoPrint suddenly disconnecting, micro-usb going bad?

Can the MINI's micro-usb port just go bad?  Yesterday my Pi running OctoPrint suddenly started disconnecting from my MINI.  I can get it to reconnect right after I restart the MINI but then it disconnects a few seconds later. As far as I know of nothing changed on OctoPrint but I am running the 4.3.3 RC firmware on my MINI to get the customer extruder eStep configuration.  I haven't dropped/bumped/etc. my printer to physically damage the port.  The only thing I've done is had the hotend getting to 270 a number of times because I removed the Bondtech heatbreak and put back the original one and I had to clear out a clog.  I've tried multiple USB cables and different ports on the rPi, all of them behaved the same.

OctoPi: Version 0.18.0, running on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
OctoPrint: Version 1.6.1

Here is the log from OctoPrint:

Topic starter answered:
Fixed it - Meatpack Plugin

I somehow enabled a plugin that I had messed around with previously called Meatpack, once I disabled that I could connect reliably again.
