Hi Dominick, In this case the jobs are running using application-mode. All of these were previously working as expected for the legacy jobs using the same configuration (however those were running via Ververica Platform and targeting Flink 1.15.2). I had somewhat expected similar behaviors but it seems there’s something that is missing.
