I had the same problem, and asked here. See the long-ish thread at
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2020-February/thread.html

The list was most helpful (as well as a few private messages, thank you
all!).  It is indeed an interaction between modes, so I now turned off the
older auto-complete mode:

  ;; edd 2020-02-10 possible interaction with ESS
  ;(require 'auto-complete-config)
  ;(ac-config-default)

I kept other uses of company, irony, ... as set as I actually like them and
the fact that I get a pretty consistent Emacs experience across languages and
buffers.
