    Hi @adil ,
    Thanks for your question.
    As the cause of the problem is complicated, there are several issues that need to be confirmed with you:
    1, What is your farm environment like?
    2, How many PWA instances have you created?
    3, Is this only one PWA instance having such a problem?
    4, What are your steps to create a PWA instance? Follow this steps to recreate a PWA instance and see if the same problem occurs.
