ssh connections break with "Fssh_packet_write_wait" on 13

Hi, Since upgrading servers from 12.2 to 13.0, I get Fssh_packet_write_wait: Connection to 1.2.3.4 port 22: Broken pipe consistently, usually after about 11 idle minutes, that's with and without pf enabled. Client (11.4 in a VM) wasn't altered. Verbose logging (client and server side) doesn't show anything special when the connection breaks. In the past, QoS problems caused these disconnects, but I didn't see anything apparent changing between 12.2 and 13 in this respect. I did a test on a newly commissioned server to rule out other factors (so, same client connections, some routes, same everything). On 12.2 before the update: Connection stays open for hours. After the update (same server): connections breaks consistently after < 15 minutes (this is with unaltered configurations, no *AliveInterval configured on either side of the connection).
