Escort mission not creating group

Jul 30, 2022 Sid123 link
At about 3:55 am GMT, July 31 2022, (5 minutes ago):
I took an escort mission from Dau I-7 to Eo I-7. Usually a group is created, but this time no group was created. I'm not sure whether the convoy even spawned or not. This has occurred once before, approximately 10 hours before. I'm not sure on the exact time of that one.

This time I also didn't get the, "We're heading out now. Your course has been set for Eo I-7."
Last time, I did get the message, but no group was created and I'm not sure whether a convoy was spawned.

I've had that before. It's when the convoy hasn't spawned/undocked yet. The group will form once it does - at least it did in my case. I don't know if you have to wait around for it.

This happened again about 5 minutes before this post. This time, it gave the "We're heading out now. Your course has been set for ..." message, but no group was created and neither did any ships spawn.

EDIT: This apparently occurs after I have taken a lot of escort missions and aborted them. This one occurred after I had aborted 10 Escort missions in quick succession (take mission, undock, scan cargo, dock, abort mission, repeat.)
