Hi @cortinico! I am experiencing this issue even on 0.74.7. In my case, we migrated from 0.71.12 to 0.73.5 and noticed this issue. Then, we migrated to 0.74.7 due to seeing your comment. Unfortunately, we are still having issues with performing a refresh. We also do not have the new arch enabled.

Please open a new issue + provide reproducer. Ideally also make sure that this reproduces on 0.77 as 0.74 is out of support
