[Bug]: "Failed to load block meta" + high CPU usage

[freak12techno]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

After some point, I am seeing this in my logs on a validator node and this corresponds with drastically higher CPU usage than expected:

9:54PM ERR Failed to load block meta blockstoreBase=25224989 blockstoreHeight=27031768 height=26440900 module=consensus peer="Peer{MConn{136.60.138.41:17156} 76ddf905e939dfed05b92242420e5ad2d7216b7f in}"

... this line goes over 20 times

I see this set of logs lines apparently every block, with this specific IP, but previously saw it with another IP.
Do not have this on a public node, so unsure what can cause this.
Things I've tried so far:

• using another addrbook
• resyncing from snapshot
• removing all persistent_peers

I don't recall such a behaviour prior to upgrade, so likely relevant.

Gaia Version

v25.1.0

How to reproduce?

Honestly no idea, it just happens.
