You are most likely running into masquerades. A masquerade is an internal
operation in Asterisk that involves renaming a channel. When this occurs,
your AMI client will receive a sequence of Masquerade and Rename events.
Your client will need to update its tracking of the channel based on those
events.

Alternatively, you can move to Asterisk 12. One of the major projects that
was done in that version was to remove the visibility of masquerades from
external systems (and mostly purge them internally), such that channels
have a stable, consistent identifier for the channel throughout its
lifetime.
