Scary error message about dead and livings during Sync-NAVTenant. Upgrading from 2013R2 to 2018

So I wonder who had the idea to code this error message:

"A dead connection cannot be brought back to the livings" .. like seriously? wdf dude!

Anyway, I've restarted my NAV Services and SQL Server several times. Everytime I run this, it's working for about 1 hours, and then I get this error. Dunno if anyone has seen this before:

Sync-NAVTenant -ServerInstance  DynamicsNAV110 -Mode ForceSync

    OK.. so digging into to event viewer, I found a NAV Service error about timeout. So I increased the "SQL command timeout" in the NAV service with the Administration Tool. Hope this brings us "back to the livings"!

    Will confirm as soon as the Sync process finishes.

    Resurrection of zombies is a regular vendor practice :-).

    Just for troubleshooting purposes, will you face the same issue using -CommitPerTable parameter?

    Hi @Ghetz,
     
    Hope you are doing well.
     
    I was wondering if you were able to resolve this by increasing the SQL command timeout? 
     
    I know it's a weird request but who knew that 6years later I would face the same error
