dhcpcd is saying that a 3rd party deleted the address.

Your initial log says that the lease will expire in 1800 seconds.
Generally the lease won't expire until an address does.
The kernel is generally responsible for removing expired addresses, each
IPv6 address has a lifetime. So the kernel could be the 3rd party.

Or it could be something else like systemd, networkmanager, etc.
