For future travelers: So this is an artifact of charms.reactive code. In order to fix it, we added https://github.com/openstack/charm-layer-openstack/commit/49b1075506d7625d04a05e2cb232d20ea82f6406 (Add a 'is-update-status-hook' flag to the layer) which could be adapted to work with this charm. This would limit all the handlers to not run in the update-status hook.
