Using only the code given, I can’t figure out what’s the issue. As your monster behaves strange, which it seems like it still chases you even without path being generated (I don’t see visual points appearing sometimes). Also I am unsure how you are implementing the loop. Generally, you shouldn’t use path:Run() in a loop with signals(also calling path:Run()) together, because when using a loop, signals are pointless as you are calling path:Run() in a certain interval anyways. Also how Trapped work is if the monster failed to reach the destination after a certain time, it fires. By calling path:Run() again, the trapped detection for the previous run will be canceled, making it unviable in this case if you are looping the path:Run().

local pathfindPosition = Vector3.new()
local Pathfinding = require(workspace.NoobPath)
local rake = workspace.Rig

local path = Pathfinding.Humanoid(rake, 
	{
		AgentHeight = 4, -- 3
		AgentRadius = 2, -- 2
		AgentCanJump = true,
		AgentCanClimb = true,
		Costs = {
			PathfindAvoid = 9999,
			Truss = 1,
		},
		PathSettings = {
			SupportPartialPath = true,
		},
		WaypointSpacing = 5.5 -- 10
	}
)

path.Reached:Connect(function(Waypoint, IsPartial)
	task.wait(.1)
	path:Run(pathfindPosition)
end)

path.WaypointReached:Connect(function(Waypoint, NextWaypoint)
	task.wait(0.1)
	path:Run(pathfindPosition)
end)
path.Error:Connect(function(ErrorType : string)
	warn(ErrorType)

	task.wait(0.1)
	path:Run(pathfindPosition)
end)
path.Trapped:Connect(function(TrapType : string)
	print("Trapped")
	if rake.Humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Climbing then
		path.Jump()
	end
	path:Run(pathfindPosition)
end)

path.Timeout = true
path.Speed = 16
path.Visualize = true
-- path.Precise = true -- Removed due to bad performance and limited usage, does nothing as of now

local first = true

-- Loop implementation A (Can use with signals)
while true do
	task.wait(0.1)
	pathfindPosition = workspace:WaitForChild("grewsxb4").PrimaryPart:GetPivot().Position
	if first then
		-- Run only once, then signals will handle the rest
		path:Run(pathfindPosition)
	end
	first = false
end

-- Loop implementation B (Don't use with signals)
while true do
	task.wait(0.1)
	pathfindPosition = workspace:WaitForChild("grewsxb4").PrimaryPart:GetPivot().Position
	path:Run(pathfindPosition)
end

I tested both Loop A and Loop B, no random jumping occurred.
Please provide me with more details.
