How to resolve Connexion.FlaskAPP with ASGI server uvicorn / gunicorn has synchronous api calls Error: ERROR:root:error (0, '')

After migrating from connexion2 to connexion 3 we are facing a weird error causing the application to stop.
When ever multiple api calls are triggered from application to Flask app server with ASGI it randomly throws unauthorized error stating: ERROR:root:error (0, '')

When a single call is made it works but when multiple api calls are triggered from a single promise or one after other application randomly returns result once and throws 401 error some times.

Trace logs:

Posted the issue on stack overflow too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78849875/running-flask-app-with-connexion-3-1-0-with-synchronous-api-calls

Code used:

app = connexion.FlaskApp(__name__, specification_dir='config/swagger/')
CORS(app.app, supports_credentials=True)
app.add_middleware(
      CORSMiddleware,
      position=MiddlewarePosition.BEFORE_EXCEPTION,
      allow_origins=["*"],
      allow_credentials=True,
      allow_methods=["*"],
      allow_headers=["*"],
)

@app.app.after_request
def cache_busting_headers(response):
    response.headers.extend({
        'Last-Modified': datetime.now(),
        'Cache-Control': cache_control_header,
        'Pragma': 'no-cache',
        'Expires': '0'
    })
    return response

def run():
    uvicorn.run(app, port=int(os.getenv('PORT', 8080)), log_level='trace')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    run()

Dependencies used:
connexion[flask,uvicorn,swagger-ui]==3.1.0 Flask-Cors==4.0.1

Can anyone guide me on the solution for this.
