Powershell Stops Working- How to resolve this error?

Im seeing errors whereby powershell inputs just stop for some random reason. The only error I get is the following

failed with exception=The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Exception calling "Clear" with "0" argument(s): "Index was outside the bounds of the array."

A simple restart of the SplunkForwardingService on the system makes it work again so theres nothing wrong with the script.

Anyone got any ideas why its doing this? its not just one script or one particular system. Its 2 scripts across 2 different scripts. Same error though

Hi @damo66a 
Did you figure out this issue? 
I also have issues that powershell scripts doesn't seems to be triggered after a while (after working for days and weeks). Restart of the splunk service helps, but after some time it stops again. I can't find any error messages either.

Regards

just to add, there is no point in my script that calls "Clear" or sets the ErrorPreference. It simply just stops working until a restart of the service
