Research direction

Start by reproducing the polling failure with Temporal 0.2.0 in the reported ECS and EC2 setup, using the issue's screenshot and observed startup behavior as the baseline. Trace worker polling and logging to identify why polling stops; done means the process continues polling activities and workflows without requiring a restart.

Description

We are using temporal version 0.2.0 in production and are observing the below issue

Container - ECS
Instance - EC2

On startup the temporal client is able to poll for activities & workflows available to process and after sometime the polling stops. But the process is still running.

So everytime the process has to be restarted for client to start polling again.
