I find it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
However, I can provide some additional context that might help.  The
problem seems to occur when I'm not using my laptop—often at night,
which aligns with the time `run-with-idle-timer' is triggered.
During these moments, my configuration and environment are relatively
static, as the workstation is idle.  I usually leave it in that state
in the evening, and the problem is only noticeable in the morning.

It's worth noting that the issue doesn't happen consistently — not
every night or even every week.  It just occasionally arises, leaving
me puzzled about what might need adjustment or modification to
prevent it.  Given its sporadic nature, I'm at a loss for how to
reproduce it consistently.

There is literally one lead, and it's this code snippet that I just
removed from my configuration:

         (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 4)))

 ;; Targets start with the file name allows creating level 1 tasks.

It was added as part of one of my experiments, and I apparently don't
need this functionality at all.  So, I can easily remove it to test
this hypothesis. Unfortunately, I don't have any other leads at the
moment.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to investigate this
further or understand the root cause of the problem.
