The log entry "ERROR: : Dup IP X.X.X.X exists in tag DB" is a misleading duplicate warning. The plugin first reads predefined and user-defined tags at the `NetworkInterface` level for an EC2 instance and writes the corresponding IP‑tag mappings to the database. It then processes predefined and user tags at the instance level and appends these tags to the IP addresses already created from the `NetworkInterfaces` section. During this second step, the plugin checks whether an IP address is already present in the database before adding the instance‑level tags, and this check triggers the duplicate error message even though the entry is not actually a true duplicate.

Fixed in AWS Plugin versions 5.5.0 & 6.0.4
