Files updating metadata conitinually add the suffix to url

I have noticed an issue with certain files that have trouble syncing to cloudinary.

The problem:
These files have the suffix appended multiple times to the public_id and wp_attached_file.

The file never fully syncs, and displays a “Updating metadata” status in the media library

The Behavior:
While stuck in ‘updating metadata’ mode, editing,viewing or querying the media item will append the suffix again and again, continuing to add it as many times as the edit screen has been loaded.

The file will never be correct on the front end.

I had created a small plugin to fix this, only to notice the same files continuing to get long, incorrect urls when being viewed in the edit screen (its basically schrodingers file)

I am running wordpress 5.7.2 on php 7.4 with the plugin version 2.7.4.
The plugin is set to auto sync, with storage as cloudinary only
Before you ask – disabling every other plugin does nothing.

Any help welcomed
