You are running `org-refile-get-targets' using idle timer. It means that it may be called in any buffer. At the same time, you have (nil :maxlevel .4) in your `org-refile-targets', instructing Org mode to examine current buffer for refile targets. Since you are on 9.6.15, Org mode should actually barf if `org-refile-targets' is called in non-Org buffer. So, I am a bit puzzled why you are running into errors that seemingly originate from deeper into `org-refile-get-targets' logic (there is a single `looking-at' call in `org-refile-get-targets' and it is after checking major mode). My only guess is that some of your Org buffers is not properly initialized somehow. Maybe the timer is triggering in the middle of Org mode loading or something? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
