it looks like the master/4.6 is still on https://github.com/openshift/cluster-csi-snapshot-controller-operator/blob/master/go.mod 1.18.3, please update at least to 1.18.6
Solved by rebase to external-snapshotter v3.0.0 that brings k8s.io/client-go v0.19.0
According to comments "It looks like the issue only affects 1.18. According to https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/91073#issuecomment-652251669 the issue was first introduced in that version by changes done to the reflector. The fix is already present in 1.19." In the cluster-csi-snapshot-controller-operator repo: $ git checkout -b 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-09-24-211545 c536c8d4165e81f6c9c81de0627aeed6fc57bb5c $ grep 'k8s.io/client-go' go.mod k8s.io/client-go v0.19.0 Change status to VERIFIED.
