While creating event listeners upon receipt of event an error occurs. Simplified example provided. This is occurring for multiple contracts and events. Switching to v5.7.2 the events work fine.

Code Snippet

const { ethers } =  require(`ethers`);

const newEthersClient = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.ankr.com/polygon/486f6d938d85e35aeacf83a59afd95c4fab739093c8f919adb258799d81d51bf');

abi = [
    "event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint amount)"
  ]
  
  contract = new ethers.Contract("0x8f3Cf7ad23Cd3CaDbD9735AFf958023239c6A063", abi, newEthersClient)
  
  // Begin listening for any Transfer event
  contract.on("Transfer", (from, to, _amount, event) => {
    const amount = ethers.formatEther(_amount, 18)
    console.log(`${ from } => ${ to }: ${ amount }`);
  
    // The `event.log` has the entire EventLog
  
    // Optionally, convenience method to stop listening
    event.removeListener();
  });
