This looks like a timing/race condition issue where the message arrives before the process instance reaches the intermediate catch event and opens its subscription. I found the following relevant resources:
- Message buffering and timing issues
- Microsoft 365 email inbound connector correlation troubleshooting
- Process variables not merging intermittently
- Message correlation working intermittently
Does this help? If not, can anyone from the community jump in?
