Interface error counters stop increasing and supported duplex operation is reported consistently. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A copper link shows late collisions and errors associated with a fixed duplex configuration on an older endpoint. It would follow the distinct action: Reconcile duplex/autonegotiation settings and cable condition on both sides.
