Possible interference with Focal Point module

I had the same issue. I have solved this by checking the filefields_paths_entity_update hook and modifying it in my custom module like this:

use Drupal\media\MediaInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface;
use Drupal\filefield_paths\Utility\FieldItem;

/**
 * Implements hook_entity_update().
 */
function pixelthis_entity_update(EntityInterface $entity) {

  if (!$entity instanceof MediaInterface || $entity->bundle() !== 'image') {
    return;
  }

  // The filefield_paths module conflicts with the focal_point module.
  // If the filefield_paths module is enabled, we need to disable it
  // for the media.image.field_media_image field.
  // other wise the focal point will not work.
  // https://www.drupal.org/project/filefield_paths/issues/3015137
  $module_handler = \Drupal::moduleHandler();
  foreach ($entity->getFields() as $field) {
    if (FieldItem::hasConfigurationEnabled($field)) {
      $settings = FieldItem::getConfiguration($field);
      // Invoke hook_filefield_paths_process_file().
      $module_handler->invokeAll(
        'filefield_paths_process_file',
        [$entity, $field, $settings]
      );
    }
  }

}
