Trouble with Azure Function App and Azure Blob Storage trigger not firing as expected

After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm experiencing an scenario where my Azure Function App, which is supposed to trigger on new blobs in Azure Blob Storage, isn't firing consistently. I've set up the function with a Blob trigger, but it seems to miss events intermittently. My setup is using .NET 6 and the Function App is configured to use Windows hosting. Hereโ€™s a snippet of my function definition: ```csharp [FunctionName("BlobTriggerFunction")] public static void Run([BlobTrigger("mycontainer/{name}")] Stream myBlob, string name, ILogger log) { log.LogInformation($"C# Blob trigger function Processed blob Name:{name} Size: {myBlob.Length} Bytes"); } ``` The scenario arises when I upload blobs directly through Azure Storage Explorer or programmatically via Azure SDK, but sometimes the function simply doesnโ€™t trigger. Iโ€™ve checked the logs and there are no indications of failures, but I do get the following warning intermittently: `Function 'BlobTriggerFunction' failed to start. Function timeout.` Iโ€™ve tried increasing the function timeout to 10 minutes in the host.json file like this: ```json { "functionTimeout": "00:10:00" } ``` Moreover, I also confirmed that the Blob Storage connection string is correct and that the Function App has the necessary permissions to access the storage account. I've even tried redeploying the function and clearing the storage account. What could be causing these missed triggers? Is there a potential scenario with the scaling of the Function App, or do I need to adjust something in the Blob Storage configuration? My development environment is Linux. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. The project is a service built with Csharp. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
