How to airbyte-cron: RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED namespace rate limit exceeded.

## The problem

Issue airbytehq/airbyte#30691 (closed, 28 comments): ### Topic Temporal issue ### Revelant information Airbyte version: 0.50.21 We are observing abnormal amount of rate limit errors from airbyte-cron. We are not using airbyte schedulers, only one cron job is setup on the Airbyte UI. The following error message is emitted every few seconds as soon as we start the docker compose. ```2023-09-22 15:27:03 ERROR i.m.s.DefaultTaskExceptionHandler(handle):47 - Error invoking scheduled task for bean [io.airbyte.cron.jobs.SelfHealTemporalWorkflows@31e9f894] RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: namespace rate limit exceeded io.grpc.StatusRuntimeException: RESOURCE_EXHAUSTE

## What worked (verified answer)

Hit with RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED namespace rate limit errors from airbyte-cron flooding every few seconds right after startup. The fix that worked across multiple environments: 1. Helm uninstall your Airbyte release. 2. Delete the Airbyte namespace. 3. Drop the temporal and temporal_visibility databases in your external Postgres (the stuck Temporal workflow state lives there). 4. Reinstall Airbyte fresh. The bad state is in the Temporal DBs, so reinstalling without dropping them just brings the errors back.
