@kapa.ai restarted Airbyte services, and initiated the sync. Job history for the sync is still 'Status Unknown'.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems that you're experiencing an issue with your Airbyte sync job status. Let me address this based on the available information: 1. First, it's good that you've already restarted the Airbyte services. This is often a recommended first step when encountering issues, as mentioned in one of the forum posts [All Airbyte Syncs stopped for several days](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1018). 2. However, if after restarting and initiating the sync, the job history still shows 'Status Unknown', this might indicate a deeper issue. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide specific information about a 'Status Unknown' state. 3. It's worth noting that Airbyte has a defined set of job states, and 'Unknown' is not typically one of them. According to the [Airbyte documentation on Sync Jobs](https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/jobs#sync-jobs), sync jobs follow a specific state machine, which doesn't include an 'Unknown' status. 4. If the problem persists, you might want to check the logs for any error messages or indications of what's causing this unusual status. The logs can often provide more detailed information about what's happening behind the scenes. 5. Additionally, ensure that you're using the latest version of Airbyte. As suggested in one of the forum posts, upgrading to the latest version can sometimes resolve unexpected issues [All Airbyte Syncs stopped for several days](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1018). If the problem continues after these steps, you may need to open a new topic on the Airbyte forum or GitHub issues, providing specific details about your setup, Airbyte version, and any relevant logs. This will help the Airbyte team or community members provide more targeted assistance.
