O2 sensors
I have replaced one of my O2 sensors for every year for the last three years. I am just curious about how many other people have this issue. So far it has been the easy sensors to get to. I generally drive the car all summer and hardly ever put it dynamic mode anymore, sorry guys, it just got old for me. I did notice that this does happen when I go on a long trip over 500 miles in one shot. I would turn the CEL off and it would come back on eventually. The individual sensors that were replaced have been fine, I use Bosch for the replacements which as I understand are OEM. The car is a 2018 F type R with 28,000 miles on it. I purchased it used back in 2020 if I remember correctly.
I am also thinking I should be looking for a cause for this, I have a scan tool and everything checks out. Car runs the same as the first day of ownership, no misses, good fuel economy, good power and easy to start. This car has been a good vehicle.
Let me know your thoughts on what may be causing this or if this is a common issue. From my searches, all I found was some individual issues that do not look like the same issue I am having.

Replaced a sensor under warranty when we bought the car 4 years ago at 55,000 miles. Just replace another one under warranty this summer at 90,000 miles. Warranty for sensors is 10 years 150,000 miles I think?
I asked at the dealership about the extended warranty and never got a reply. When I looked this up online, I seen from 2014 to 2017 the warranty was extended. The US has an 8 year emissions warranty on all vehicles, which I still would fall under, but when I asked about this, the dealer said they would need to determine whether this sensor effects the emissions. Which the obvious answer is, yes it does. The first sensor was replaced by the dealership and they had the car for almost a week, Since I have all the equipment needed to do this type of work it tends to be easier for me to just do it, I would rather take an hour or two and do it myself and have the car to drive.
Thank you for the information and your experience.

Also, there was a software update some years ago that affected the O2 sensor calibration, which I think was an attempt to reduce the number of O2 sensor replacements. It may have been the dreaded K309 update, which reduced exhaust sound for many people. My car got k309b, which did not affect the sound.
Edit: my mistake, it was JTB392, not the infamous k309.

My thanks to all who replied. I ordered the O2 sensor, should be here tomorrow. I have to change oil anyway, so while the car is in the air I will replace the O2 sensor as well. Since I have a 2018 model year, I don't think much of this will apply to my vehicle, and for me to debate the dealership on this issue is not worth my time. I will check what I know to check to see if anything is out of sorts, but I doubt it since it is now three different sensors in different locations and both banks.
A) Wait, you’re lifting the car to change the oil? How barbaric! Kinda half joking.
B) It might be time for a new dealership. I brought mine in with a CEL, knowing it was a sensor because my Autel told me so. My dealer said no problem, had the car out and washed 4 hours later. Sensor replaced on warranty, all adaptations performed and I still have my burbles and pops. My car is a 2016 as noted below.

I have an oil evacuator, but since I need to change oil and replace the O2 sensor up on the lift it goes. As far as the dealership goes,I can't be bothered with the BS to get something done. The dealer did the maintenance on the vehicle when it was under warranty. The dealership did a good job for me, but the car was out of commission for days. Without a courtesy car given to me to drive, I had to have my wife pick me up and drop me off for every service.Since now the car is out of warranty, it is not worth the four hours of back and forth drive time to get something done.
