Low oil pressure could be the reason.
Install a physical gauge - even just temporarily to see what the actual issue is. only after that can one advise further. You are simply assuming the pressure is OK.

Worn bearings. No less than 0.85 bar at idle when the engine is hot. Around 3.5 bar when at 2500 rpm engine hot.
