What is causing clicks/pops in exports?

I've edited several song sessions. 100+ files. All of them make a click/popping noise at least once in the track. 

The click/pop is very loud. It sounds like a glitch/error. It ruins the track. 

Sometimes the spots of the clicks change. Meaning sometimes they export fine. Other times they happen on an entirely different location of the song. 

I've noticed I can fix some of them by declipping even if the vocal isn't clipping. Same with using a limiter. 

Is there a reason for these clicks/pops? The files aren't coming anywhere close to red/clipping.

But they sound like very tiny spikes of clipping. 

Are there solutions to this problem?

Can't really help - no useful information. Could you at least post a sample? Ideally as a short wav file.

Upon further inspection it actually appears to be a clipping issue. 

The monitor levels don't show any of the clips as red, but once a limiter plugin such as L1/L2/L3 is applied it's monitoring shows it in the red. Like it's showing the levels as double loud as Audition does.... 

Audition shows everything in yellow, but the limiter plugins show it full red?

Is there a reason why Audition isn't showing the clips as clipping when they actually are?

This looks to be AI generated. It is in no way diagnostic, and certainly won't help you with a specific problem, whereas looking at the waveform of one of these clicks might reveal a lot.

My buffer is 2048, it's not a connection issue, the clicks happen in the middle of clips/not cuts, updates have done across the board.
