Are all containers running correctly? Can you check worker, temporal and server logs?
Also is it possible to upgrade to latest version?

@marcosmarxm Thanks for reply. I have upgraded airbyte and temporal version. it got resolved. I suspect, issue with temporal engine. it has been running for more than a week and i have not faced NPE yet.

@sivankumar86 to which version you have updated to ? we are on 0.39.42 and we are facing the same issue.

we are on airbyte version 0.40.18
