   > But collecting enough positive cases means you know it's probably not 
config specific. And it hardly looks like a race condition, because we have the 
error occuring several times a day some days. That said, it also does not 
happen on every Airflow instance we have, but I haven't figured what make the 
instance where it happens special.
   
   The fact that it does not happen everywere actually points out to the fact 
that it `IS` config specific. If we have few reports like that with tens of 
thousands installations out there, rather than having the issue flooded with 
"things stopped worked in the same way - is even more indication that it's not 
a widespread issue. This one seems like happening a bit more frequently but 
it's not "widespread issue" - but it somewhat configuration specific. I know it 
looks differently for you - because you are actually experiencing it - 
similarly as few other people, but this is often `survivorship bias` - you 
don't account for all the others who do not have similar issue and do not 
report it here that "it works fine for me".
   
   Unforrtunately without knowing what causes it makes it extremely difficult 
to diagnose and reproduce. And here there are only volunteers working on such 
issues, poeople who decided to look at those issues in - basically - their free 
time. And if the diagnosis on some correlation is not done on the side of 
users, those volunteers have basicallly no chances to figure out what are the 
conditions, other than guessing. And this is not even as lucky as you that 
there is a paid staff to actually run your pipelines AND being able to dig 
deeper  :). There is no paid staff here and there is no way to dig depper.
   
   That's why we usually ask for as much of digging and diagnosing as much the 
users can spare, and provide the results here - this might (or might not) make 
it easier to guess what is wrong (no guarantees), but it's the best way for our 
users to increase the chances (and a nice way to contribute back for the free 
software they get as well).
