Rainbird automation automatically stops after 18 min

Configuration
1

Hi all,

Since some weeks ago I’ve figured out a quite strange behaviour of my rainbird automation and hope you might help me out on this:

I flashed my SD card running ony my Raspbeerry PI 4 and set up a brand new home assistant to be only installed the rainbird integration, which works fine. The default amount of time for my irrigation is 300 min.
Whenever I create an irrigtion automation exceeding 18 min, it automatically stops right after 18 min even if my automation would last for some more time.
Turning on the manual switch of my irrigation sprinkler, it also automatically stops right after 18 min. I’ve searched everywhere for these 18 mins, but can’t find any reason why my irrigation stops right after this time. Of course I do not use the native rainbird app at the same time.
I was faced with this issue quite suddenly after it has been working for at least three months perfectly. I can’t remember to have changed anything in Home Assistant and was wondering whether the underlying Debian OS might cause this issue.
The logfile of home assistant doesn’t show any error.
I also reset my rainbird ESP-ME3 controller without having more success.
If it helps I’m happy to share screenshots with you. Any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

Best regards,
David

Please find also attached an extraction of my debug file when starting the rainbird automation in Home Assistant (I canceled this automation manually after approx. 6 min):
