Alpaca buys two or three times the qty ordered for any buy order placed before 9:33 am

Hi guys, I need help with this strange issue I have been encountering with my Alpaca Paper account. I noticed that whenever my algo places an order before 9:33 am Alpaca returns the message below, and goes ahead to buy two or three times the quantity I ordered.

sleep 3 seconds and retrying https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders 3 more time(s)...

From my algo’s log I can confirm that it sends the order just once, but I wonder why the app ends up filling the order two to three times.

This is one of the issues preventing me from starting my live account.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
