What causes this issue?

There are different processes can trigger the activation of a CDS-view
for Enterprise Search. These are:
ALL: All relevant CDS-views are activated together, e.g. by running
report ESH_CDSABAP_ACTIVATION or by refreshing the Enterprise Search
runtime load.
ALLDEL: All CDS-based ES-connectors get deleted.
BASICDEL: The basic settings such as the connection used for CDS-based
connectors are deleted.
BUFFER_UPD: Only the runtime load is rebuilt, no changes to the few
persisted data.
CLEANUP: CDS-based connectors are deleted which cannot be justified any
more from their underlying DDL; in case the deletion had not been
carried out straight away. Additionally, remainders of a system copy get
corrected.
MASS: There is no regular use case that results in this process type.
MASSDEL: See before.
PERS_RESTO: The few persisted data is restored; the runtime load does
not get touched.
PURGE: The client is reset to delivery state, which comes with deleting
all CDS-based data.
SINGLE: A single DDL gets activated; for instance, by report
ESH_CDSABAP_ACTIVATION or by the consistency check.
SINGLEDEL: A single DDL gets deleted.
TIMESTAMP: In addition, the system checks regularily whether there are
search-relevant CDS-views with a state younger than Enterprise Saerch's
state of the same view. If so, the activation is triggered.
TRANSPORT: When a transport contains CDS-views relevant for Enterprise
Search, the activation for Enterprise Search happens during the
transport import.
WORKBENCH: The most frequent use case for single activation is editing a
CDS-view and activating it from the editor.
WORKBENCHD: Either a DDL gets altogether deleted from the editor, or the
@EnterpriseSearch-annotations are removed so that it drops out of the
set of CDS-based connectors.
