I'm not refuting what youre saying in any way; this is just a related suggestion for anyone using PiHole who occasionally runs into what you've described. There's an Android app called flutterhole which can connect to and activate your pihole's 'pause blocking' feature. I have found this to be the easiest way around the scenario the poster above has mentioned. Doesn't help with figuring out PiHole is responsible obviously. HTH.

Since you shared an android app, I’ll share the iOS app I use for the same purpose, called “Pi-Hole Remote” https://apps.apple.com/app/id1515445551 https://apps.apple.com/app/id1515445551

  Pi-holes have an api that lets you hit a url that’ll pause the blocking for a configurable time. I use a Mac shortcut, but even a bookmark would work

  This looks convenient and powerful. Good share! I personally setup an instance of Homebridge on the device running Pi-Hole, then use HomeKit on my Apple products to turn Pi-Hole on/off as if it were a light bulb.
