lightdm: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts

Hello people,
I have an issue that has been bugging me for quite some time now.

I use lightdm and awesome-wm, and I configured an xautolock to lock the screen with dm-tool every ten minutes. When the screen locks it goes back to the greeter (lightdm-gtk3) and prompts for a password. After a while the monitor shuts down and turns black.

What is happening now, however, is that the screen turns back on, by itself, showing the greeter. And then cycles off and back on every ten minutes. in journalctl I get these messages:

This happens every ten minutes... What could be wrong? I really cannot wrap my head around it...

This Debian bug might help.

Please pay attention to the dates and don't necrobump 5 year old threads.
