Have the same problem, and it looks like "dropbear" crashes from time to 
time.
My application is connecting to the Internet about once every five 
minuites, 
and this works, but ssh'ing in fails occasionally

I now run a script in the background which restarts dropbear, if it has 
crashed

though "systemctl restart dropbear"

This script will check about once a minute.
