ASI_ERROR_GENERAL_ERROR after meridian flip

Last night I run into some problems with mit ZWO ASI2600MC-P after the meridian flip has finished: each 180s exposure finished after around one second in sequence after the flip. In the NINA log there is a “ASI_ERROR_GENERAL_ERROR” thrown. Disconnecting camera in equipment section and connecting it again solves the problem.
I am using NINA V. 3.0.0.9001 with the built in ZWO drivers (1, 33, 0, 0)
