I believe I'm seeing the same problem, but I haven't characterised it completely to know for sure yet. I use a single SSH key on my Linux workstation and use it to login to many different servers for work, and at home (I'm a sysadmin). It seems like I get asked to authenticate to 1Password for every different host I connect to, at least the first time within a desktop session or within a period of time.
For me this is entirely unworkable and I had to disable it after 5 minutes. I don't have a fingerprint scanner or anything, so this means entering my somewhat-lengthy password for every SSH connection. It's quite common to login to a few different servers in quick succession, such as when using ansible to configure servers. It definitely needs to be a single 1Password unlock per desktop session.
