Dear @dadoonet

Thanks for your response, it's working setup
Today I just stopped and started, encountered the issue

May be you were running it under another user or you modified something in the current session of the user but this has not been saved. So if you started from a new shell, it's running in another context.

But in all case, check this according to the documentation I shared.
