Description of issue:
I’m slowly rebuilding my library, so I have a ton of monitored series, but I have been initiating the searches manually. Occasionally, I’ll find a whole show’s worth of torrents in my torrent client that appeared overnight, but I never initiated the search. Yes, the series is monitored, and I understand newer episodes will still download, but what is causing whole (Ended) series to randomly be searched?

It’s doing what it is supposed to. It’s not being randomly searched. Anything that appears in an RSS feed that is wanted will be grabbed.
Series is monitored. Anything that is missing from that series is considered Wanted.
Series pack appears in RSS feed because it was just posted/reuploaded.
Sonarr grabs because it is wanted.

Sonarr is not doing any searching there and generally doesn’t search on its own.

What on your device is accessing sonarr without a valid apikey and trying to use the legacy depreciated api route?
