Since installing 1.10 and now 1.10.1 I have been seeing these errors:

The a little bit later all is OK?

This is just one example I also have several others:

Any thoughts?
I had not changed the configuration only the version of unbound but they seemed to be getting more frequent.
Having had a bit of a dig I found that one of the servers was the cause of the problem:
forward-zone:
name: “.”
forward-tls-upstream: yes
forward-first: yes
Cloudflare DNS
forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1111@853#cloudflare-dns.com
forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com
forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1001@853#cloudflare-dns.com
forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com
Quad9
#forward-addr: 2620:fe::fe@853#dns.quad9.net
#forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853#dns.quad9.net
#forward-addr: 2620:fe::9@853#dns.quad9.net
##forward-addr: 149.112.112.112@853#dns.quad9.net
When I comment out the Quad9 Server thing seem to be much better. Are there other servers that can be used so I have an alternative to CloudFlare,
Is there something I could do in the configuration that would tell me which server had been used without ballooning the log file with lots of data?
Is there something I can do in the configuration that would help what ever the issue is that causes the failure which looks like a timeout?
