So I'm flying like normal and recording in 4K.  At about 9 minutes or so, the Mavic stops recording by itself and the red record button on the screen turns white.

I've seen this issue twice now within the last 2 weeks. What I've noticed is that around the 9 minute mark, the file the Mavic is recording to reaches the 4GB threshold and it creates another file to keep recording. Both times I've had this issue, it happened at that same timeframe.

I'm on the latest firmware.   This happened once with the newest version of DJI GO 4 and once with the previous version.

Anyone had a similar issue?  Any idea what's going wrong?

Did you use your Mavic to format the sd card or a computer?

I ask because FAT32 has a file size limit of 4Gb

The Mavic formatted it back when I first got it.  I'm 80 flights in and this only happened on 2 flights.  Wondering if anyone has had the same issue.

I had a similar issue on my other drone - video would stop recording on it's own. Turned out to be a failing SD card. Replaced it and it works fine.

Did it only stop recording, or by did your gimbal do a little "dance" (pointing the camera at odd angles) and eventually seem to reset itself? If the latter then what you're experiencing is a known problem.

It only stopped recording... I was able to start recording again soon after.  I've had that known problem too with the gimbal reset but only once with the previous firmware version.

Here are some examples that I believe may be the same problem you described. The first one is the very earliest incident I remember hearing about, so it's been happening since at least January:
