HOS Duplicate entries for same driver and same Event Time

Samsara team.

We are getting some duplicate entries for the new Driver HOS Logs BETA
(https://api.samsara.com/beta/fleet/hos/drivers/eld-events)

From time to time we get different EventCodes from the same driver and at the exact same EventTime.

Here is an example of the received JSON

{
"time": "2023-02-20T07:59:46.726Z",
"eldEventType": 3,
"eldEventCode": 2,
"eldEventRecordOrigin": 2,
"eldEventRecordStatus": 1,
"accumulatedVehicleMeters": 0,
"totalVehicleMeters": 211908185,
"elapsedEngineHours": 0.05,
"location": {
"latitude": 29.98909713,
"longitude": -95.299343009,
"city": "Humble",
"state": "TX",
"eldLocation": "2.3 mi WSW Humble, TX"
},
"vehicle": {
"id": "---",
"name": "---",
"externalIds": {
"samsara.serial": "---",
"samsara.vin": "---"
}
}
},
{
"time": "2023-02-20T07:59:46.726Z",
"eldEventType": 3,
"eldEventCode": 0,
"eldEventRecordOrigin": 2,
"eldEventRecordStatus": 1,
"accumulatedVehicleMeters": 0,
"totalVehicleMeters": 211908185,
"elapsedEngineHours": 0.05,
"location": {
"latitude": 29.98916745,
"longitude": -95.29901374,
"city": "Humble",
"state": "TX",
"eldLocation": "2.3 mi WSW Humble, TX"
},
"vehicle": {
"id": "---",
"name": "---",
"externalIds": {
"samsara.serial": "---",
"samsara.vin": "---"
}
}
}

As you can see both entries have the same Event time, they are both for the same driver and the same company.

Why do these cases happen?
How should we address them?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.
