I can't believe how quickly mine developed this problem!
I ordered my Thrustmaster Hotas X with Pedals in August 2020, but I hardly used it at all until I got MS Flightsim 2020 at Xmas, I've really not used it that much, now I've used it in the last few weeks for ED for the Alpha and it's started with the dodgy rudder signals - and I rarely actually use the twist rubber because I have a rudder on the throttle and I have the pedals. I'm tempted to just take it apart and completely remove the wires for from the twist sensor.
