Steps to reproduce Unfortunately I have no idea how to reproduce it as this error happens randomly in our service in production.

Spring Cloud Gateway version 3.1.1

Reactor Netty version 1.0.16

JVM version (e.g. java -version) 11.0.14

used -Dio.netty.leakDetection.level=PARANOID -Dio.netty.leakDetection.targetRecords=20 _reactor.netty.channel.LeakDetection:debug reactor.netty.channel.FluxReceive:debug

In addition to the recommendation above, please provide more information how SCG is used. Do you use for example some caching filter etc.

@violetagg This is all filters I used.

filters=@ArrayList[
@OrderedGatewayFilter[[GatewayFilterAdapter{delegate=org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.NettyWriteResponseFilter@17c2d509}, order = -1]],
@OrderedGatewayFilter[[GatewayFilterAdapter{delegate=org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.RouteToRequestUrlFilter@36bf84e}, order = 10000]],
@OrderedGatewayFilter[[GatewayFilterAdapter{delegate=org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter@2c58dcb1}, order = 10150]],
@OrderedGatewayFilter[[GatewayFilterAdapter{delegate=org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.LoadBalancerServiceInstanceCookieFilter@680a66dd}, order = 10151]],
@OrderedGatewayFilter[[GatewayFilterAdapter{delegate=org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.NettyRoutingFilter@e042c99}, order = 2147483647]]],

@yanwenliang Yes this time the issue is different. I’m going to prepare one PR and will ask you to test it.
