Was doing regular Disk Utility checks and had this come up on my internal Mac-Data section:

It would say it repaired it and if I ran it again immediately it said it was fine. If I closed and reopen DU and ran it again however the same error message would show up.

Searching around the answer was to boot into Recovery and then run these commands:
diskutil unmountdisk /dev/disk#
fsck_apfs -oWT /dev/disk#

Tried doing that, but then kept getting: 'failed to enable crypto I/O mode for container /dev/rdisk4: Invalid argument'. I tried doing it on disk0 just as a test as well, and it gave me the same error strangely.

What is going on, and how can I fix this? The drive works okay, but I want to fix whatever is happening that's causing that error.

How about hooking us up with whether your Mac is Intel or Apple Silicon, the version of macOS Recovery, and the output of diskutil list in the Terminal.
