If it is, you should try another SD card from the list if possible. If the second card (or if you don't have access to one to try) gives the same results, contact the GoPro Support Team and let them know the steps you've taken (copy and paste this in your chat for convenience).
If not, then it is most likely either voice activation getting triggered, or the GoPro app is turning on the camera to automatically download media for Quik Story. Go into the app settings and disable automatic download.
