Disk Not Ejected Properly Multiple times after wake from sleep

In Monterey, on my Mac mini, when waking from a sleep, the finder shows that my connected Seagate (or Western Digital--I've tried both) USB drive was not ejected properly. Depending on the length of sleep, the message will appear multiple times. Anyone else having this issue?

Mac mini, macOS 12.1
