Sometimes the driver seems to die with device error -17 and only recovers via a reboot

This is Windows 11 Pro, 3802 driver, 2022.2.5 oneVPL release.

For example, I'm transcoding with FFmpeg decoding with hevc_qsv and transcoding to av1_qsv and it's working fine. I then leave the PC idle for an hour or two, come back and run the exact same command and this time I get the dreaded device error -17 from the tool when trying to decode. It never recovers, repeated attempts with the previously-working command just produce the same errors.

It happens perhaps once or twice a day, apparently randomly. I.e. it is not preceded by any other errors or unexpected behaviour.

I have tried disabliing/renabling the device in control panel, but it seems the only cure is to reboot the PC.

Firstly, is this a known issue?

Secondly, is there another approach I can take from an API level that would "reset" the state of the device?

The GPU is being used only for decoding/encoding. I use the integrated intel GPU for the display.
