NEVPNErrorDomain Code=5 "IPC failed"

While loading preferences from NETunnelProviderManager with API loadAllFromPreferencesWithCompletionHandler , I get error Error Domain=NEVPNErrorDomain Code=5 "IPC failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=IPC failed}. This happens very rarely. Any idea what could be leading to this IPC failure.

Sys diagnostics around same time
