Hi @michaelAtCoalesce , thanks for reporting. I noticed that you are using an old version of the SDK (3.8.0). Can you please try with the latest version (6.0.0) and let us know if you continue to experience the issue?

There have been fixes to the underlying RPC library (e.g. https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/pull/2084) that might have fixed this issue already.

I also realized that there is an existing thread about this. I suggest reading https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-firestore/issues/1738#issuecomment-1170390718 and try to do a "promise audit". Let me know how it goes.
