Been seeing this since the WP6.2 update, too. I tried disabling all plugins, but turning off the usual suspects didn’t reveal anything new. I ended up turning off debugging by setting it to false in the wpconfig file. That at least makes it so the customer can’t see the error on the front end.

The error code led me to line 5413 in my functions.php file, which is right in the meaty part of this long code about how to handle deprecated functions. Where you see the first E_USER_DEPRECATED is where line 5413 is located. I see this error a dozen times:

Deprecated: Function get_page_by_title is deprecated since version 6.2.0! Use WP_Query instead. in /home1/myhostservername/mysite.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5413
