Powered zealot count automatically reduced

I’m playing Path of Exile 2 on PS5 using a Powered Zealot minion build, and I am encountering a recurring bug when changing areas. My Powered Zealot minion count should be 13, but every time I enter a new zone (for example from Clearfell to Greyoll), the number is reduced to 11. The minion count only returns to 13 after I unequip and equip my helmet again. In addition to that, after changing areas, some of my other gear such as my belt and charms suddenly display the message “You cannot use this item — its stats will be ignored,” and their stats are disabled until I re-equip them. This issue happens consistently every time I transition to a new area.

I don't want unequip and equip my helmet everytime i enter an area.
