Can you provide more info like what you are doing when this error happens, what server version you are using, and anything else that could help answer this question?

You can see your namespace id with tctl command `tctl namespace desc`, does it match up with the id in the error you show?

Server Version:- 1.9.2  
The error is occurring after a workflow is registered. According to UI no workers are being registered, but the worker registration process is done. The same process is working on other environment.

Yes the namespace Id is same as in the logs

Some More Context:-  
Stopping the workers stops this issue, seems like it is happening when worker is trying to poll the task queue
