Either would be nice.   I see something like that too, much further
back than Aug - but not to the same degree.

Thomas, you're getting 60 if those every 10 mins, 6 a minute, or
on average every 10 secs (the actual delays should be randomised
plus or minus a little).   Since DHCP's normal behaviour is to
retry fetching info at half the lifetime (to allow time to retry
in case of lost packets, and then look for a new server in case
the previous one fails to respond) that suggests that your v6
data has a 20 second lifetime.  That's absurdly short.  20 mins
would be low (10 about a rational minimum).   If you're able
you might want to look into why the server is setting the lifetime
so low ... it might be a simple misconfig, entering a value in
minutes where seconds is expected.
