mqttnet 3.1.1 Qos 2 issue

[ree-g-dass]

An error occurred: Received packet 'PubAck: [PacketIdentifier=1] [ReasonCode=]' at an unexpected time.
I am facing the same issue, only secific to QOS2. Mqttnet 3.1.1, in C#.

var clientOptions = new MqttClientOptionsBuilder()
.WithTcpServer("test",8883) // Broker host and TLS secure post transfer
.WithCredentials("id", "pwd") // Username and password
.WithClientId("id")
.WithTls(new MqttClientOptionsBuilderTlsParameters
{
UseTls = true,
AllowUntrustedCertificates = true, // Set to false in production
IgnoreCertificateChainErrors = true, // Set to false in production
IgnoreCertificateRevocationErrors = true // Set to false in production
})
.WithCleanSession(false) // Clean session false
.WithCommunicationTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10000))
.WithKeepAlivePeriod(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1000))
.WithProtocolVersion(MQTTnet.Formatter.MqttProtocolVersion.V311)
.Build();

Payload: var

mqttMessage = new MqttApplicationMessageBuilder()
.WithTopic("") // Topic
.WithPayload(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(serializedMessage)) // JSON Payload
.WithQualityOfServiceLevel(MqttQualityOfServiceLevel.ExactlyOnce) //Qos2 exactly once
.WithRetainFlag()
.Build();

**An error occurred: Received packet 'PubAck: [PacketIdentifier=1] [ReasonCode=]' at an unexpected time.**
Disconnected from MQTT broker.

The code works fine without await: mqttClient.PublishAsync(mqttMessage); when i use: await mqttClient.PublishAsync(mqttMessage);, it fails with the above error. Do you have any suggestions? @chkr1011 ( is await mandatory for publish?, what could be the potential consequences if i dont use it?)

I tried this based on another issue reference:

var properties = mqttClient.PublishAsync(mqttMessage);
await Task.WhenAll(properties);

Still the same issue. An error occurred: Received packet 'PubAck: [PacketIdentifier=1] [ReasonCode=]' at an unexpected time.
