Beginners Questions • [O/S] Keyslot requires more than available memory

Hi - I'm a new Debian user and have installed a pretty bare bones version of 12.5 as a virtual machine.

During install I chose a bit of a cumbersome passphrase so I changed it using:
sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda5
and then removing the old one using:
sudo cryptsetup luksRemoveKey /dev/sda5

Now when I boot I get the warning message :
"warning: keyslot operation could fail as it requires more than available memory"
But it boots successfully and everything is working as expected.

I'm just wondering if this is a problem and how to fix it/quiet the warning?

Full disclosure: I actually added another key and deleted the second so that the only key left is back in the 0 slot.

I realise now I might have used the luksChangeKey command to switch instead, but we are where we are.

Thanks in advance
