Livepatch shutting down the entire User runtime, just to check for patches

After enabling Ubuntu Pro, I have been noticing my services were going down randomly.

after investigating, it turns out the Docker rootless service is being shutdown by Livepatch. it looks like Livepatch will stop the entire non-root user session, just check for patches.

why is this happening?, and can i limit Livepatch to only stop services when there is a patch? or run at a certain time?

I followed the quick setup guide in the forums: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-pro-beta-tutorial/31018 and setup rootless docker using the offical repos.

I don't think i faced the same issue when testing with docker running as root.

Livepatch logs:

Oct 22 22:40:26 server canonical-livepatch.canonical-livepatchd[626]: Client information is recent, not refreshing.

Syslogs: (notice how it took 20 minutes from the runtime shutdown to livepatch to answer with not refreshing and start everthing up again)
