They seem to be triggered by a single user on enwiki hammering enwiki with some unwatch requests. That is easily spotted on mwlog1002 by tailing api.log

Looks like:

2021-03-30 08:05:20 [44f893ce-ba87-4306-9ddd-5d5148061289] mw1379 enwiki 1.36.0-wmf.36 api
INFO: API POST <USERNAME> <IP> T=33ms action=watch format=json unwatch=true token=[redacted] generator=watchlistraw gwrnamespace=* gwrlimit=5

I have no idea what this user is sending, but I guess we should handle the error properly :]

I have filtered it out of the mediawiki-new-errors Kibana dashboard

Should we make a backport here? Seems like there are a lot of exceptions in 1.36.0-wmf.36 and I don't think this patch made the cuttoff for the branch cut for wmf.37.
