If this is the case, you may want to increase your MaxConnectionAgeGrace, to allow longer RPC calls to finish.\n\nIt can be tricky to debug this because the error happens on the client side but the root cause of the connection being closed is on the server side. Turn on logging on both client and server, and see if there are any transport errors.\n\nThe default logger is controlled by environment variables.
