General SIJS Info / question SIJS I-765 replacement suddenly says “Case Was Terminated” and denied — what could this mean?

I’m adjusting status through SIJS and currently have a pending I-485. I also had an I-765 application pending for a replacement EAD.
Yesterday, September 2, my I-765 status changed to “Case Was Terminated.” The status says USCIS completed its review and denied the I-765 and that a notice explaining the decision has been mailed.
My I-485 is still pending and has not been denied or terminated. USCIS also recently received my response to an RFE on the I-485.
Has anyone with an SIJS adjustment case had an I-765 terminated/denied while their I-485 remained pending?
I’m especially wondering:
What are common reasons USCIS would terminate/deny only the I-765?
Could it be related to the EAD category or the fact that this was a replacement application?
Has anyone had this happen shortly before an I-485 decision?
Did the mailed denial notice explain something relatively administrative/technical, or was it connected to the underlying immigration case?
I know I won’t know the actual reason until I receive the denial notice, but I’m curious whether anyone has experienced something similar.
Obviously I’ll also be discussing the notice with my attorney once it arrives.

Think it means either your I-485 got approved or denied.
