Is your own files mentioned anywhere further down this stack trace?

@Sinnbeck I am only getting this much from slack notification. This is coming from regular users and I couldn't reproduce this.

@amit-viacon Can you show your config/auth.php file ? It seems that it calls this method on the auth facade, which is someone doing something with the request

return $this->guard()->{$method}(...$parameters);

@amit-viacon That looks fine. Do have any service providers or middleware that might do something with auth/guards?

Fixed (temporarly) by downgrading to "laravel/framework": "8.70.2"
