Strange Behavior with ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal

There seems to be some sort of limitation on the number of files that can be renamed using the EXIFTool. If load any more than 450-500 files I start getting errors like NewFileName = <exiftool:DateTimeOriginal>.CR2, error Invalid Tag. Subsequent to that I get no renamed files with an error or ExifTool error. This is a simple <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> NewName method. I am using the latest version of Advance Renamer 3.85 running Windows 10 with 32GB of memory. Has any else seen this behavior or is a limitation of the tool? Any suggestions?

Thanks Bill

Reply to #1: I have just encountered the same problem. Only have 8g memory, W10 and running Renamer v 3.85. Error 'EXIF Date Time Original - Invalid Tag. I don't yet know the count at which it fails, only that I can run several hundred successfully but when I try to run the full folder (> 2k files) I receive the exif error on each file.
