Little Robot 4 - During Cycling keeps pausing and turning red and resuming multiple times

My litter robot 4 has been having issues the past couple months.

During a cycle (after my cat has entered the globe), it keeps pausing multiple times with the light sensor turning red despite no cat entering the globe. It does eventually complete a cycle, but goes through multiple pauses where it “detects” a cat and turns red and pauses and resumes. This is happening despite cleaning the machine and also the sensors as recommended in the website.
