PushPublishRTMP addSession, removeSession being called frequently

Logs: Attached in the file

Infrastructure:

service-1 -> Wowza -> service-2

service-1 sends a RTMP stream to Wowza servers, which then uses PushPublishRTMP module (code added at end of this description) to forward stream to service-2

Issue: We have been getting a lot of addSession and removeSession for streams, which causes the RTMP server in service-2 to behave abnormally. Note that the incoming stream from service-1 is steady in this entire duration, so it is unclear to us why Wowza is restarting sessions. Is there a way to increase timeout so that Wowza tries using the current session instead of creating a new one?
