I have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-1008-raspi armv7l) running on a raspberry Pi 3.
For some reason, after around 2 days of uptime, it starts randomly removing its global IPv6 address. The IPv6 address comes back once the computer receives an ICMP RA packet.
Rebooting the system gives another 2 days without incidents.
This was also happening on a freshly installed system.
Our router advertises a router lifetime of 1800 seconds, and a prefix lifetime of 3600 seconds. Tcpdump says our router sends a ICMP RA every 600 seconds. Even when using watch to watch the output of ip addr, there are 4 digit numbers left on the countdown when the addres gets removed. (It just happened that the IPv6 address was lost within 2 seconds of receiving the RA)
When the system is working, ip addr looks like
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

The fact that a reboot fixes it for 2 days makes it hard to try anything
Further investigation and turning systemd into debug mode shows my problem is basically https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=15566&sid=cf1d054d50c16df15c74079e2a6871dd&start=10. But this does not help me as systemd does not have an version 248 that I can downgrade to
