1 millisecond is a lot for an interrupt delay. If you enable the
refclocks log, how many subsequent samples do you see impacted? If
it's not too many, you could simply increase the polling interval and
let the median filter take care of the outliers.
If that doesn't work and you want to force chronyd to keep the PPS
refclock selected, you can set a larger delay for the refclock (e.g.
delay 0.005) to make it overlap with the other sources and avoid the
falseticker status.
