Ah, same as me.
Installed from source, package manager or something else?

That's awesome, a friend that helped me setup the server recommended debian and I'm glad I did it. Large learning curve but it runs smooth
I upgraded from a repo
Debian org one
Sorry can't post link because I'm a new user

The SABnzbd GitHub repo?
edit: ah, just saw your update. I can't help with that one, so I'll have to let someone else have a shot at this.

If you updated from an official debian repository to 4.3.2, you must be using unstable (which is called that for a reason). Then again, that should also have the latest version of sabctools available; I uploaded both on Thursday:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1533673/
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1533674/
Sometimes sabctools takes a bit longer to complete its build on all architectures, whereas sabnzbdplus only needs a single build, so things can be out of sync for a bit. Try updating all packages on your system again, and restart sab if necessary. The only major change in the new sab package was the inclusion of a native systemd service file, that reads the same config file as the good old init.d (/etc/default/sabnzbdplus) to determine the user and set a bunch of options. I don't expect that to cause an older version of sabctools to stick around.
If things still don't work out, provide the output of
for both packages. Add some space to break up the url if the forum software blocks those.

[SOLVED]
Since the 4.3.2 upgrade SABNZBD running in Docker consistently loses connection to Sonarr/Radarr, all newservers, and the HTTP GUI.
It operates for short periods and then fails with the following error:
Sonarr - "Test was aborted due to an error: Unable to connect to SABnzbd, Http request timed out"
Radarr - "Test was aborted due to an error: Unable to connect to SABnzbd, Http request timed out"
GUI - SAZnzbd is disconnected
SSL has never been selected
Steps taken:
1. Rebooted NAS
2. Confirmed IP, port, and API Keys are correct in Sonarr & Radarr.
3. Re-pulled the latest Docker images for Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd from 'linuxserver/sabnzbd:latest' (updated 11 hrs ago at time of writing).
4. Rebotted LAN equipment.
5. In Portainer (Docker GUI) I removed the SABnzbd container from the 'bridge' network and added it back again. It obtained the same IP address when re-added and appears to have solved the problem*
*In my environment I'm unable to add containers to the 'host' network for some reason.
