Strange behaviour: immich upload --import via CLI of 72335 photos and videos

I followed instructions and ran this command (1st run) :
immich upload --key <my-api-key> --server http://my-server-ip:2283/api /mnt/media/photos --recursive --import

After 1 hour I got some Errors in JSON format (screenshot 1). I decided to run the import command again hoping to import the files from the same folder that were not imported due to errors (2nd run):

• it detected 920 assets that are not in Immich and I confirmed the import

I decided to give it a 3rd run just to make sure I have imported all of the photos and videos from the above folder:

• it detected 132 assets that are not in Immich and I confirmed the import

I decided to give it a 4th run just to make sure I have imported all of the photos and videos from the above folder:

• it detected 132 assets that are not in Immich and I confirmed the import

I decided to give it a 5th run just to make sure I have imported all of the photos and videos from the above folder:

• it detected 148 assets that are not in Immich and I confirmed the import

I gave up and came for help here. Meanwhile when I check Jobs page in admin dashboard I also see some strange behaviour. So I have in total 72335 photos and videos, but the number of thumbnails is more than this number and it keeps increasing. I expected this number to go down from 72335.
