I am using Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 with Raspbian Buster OS. I have connected Quectel EC25 modem and trying to connect to internet using Network Manager and Modem Manager tool.
Whenever I use new Airtel or Vodafone SIM cards, either Couldn't connect bearer: 'QMI protocol error (14): 'CallFailed'' or couldn't start network: QMI protocol error (79): 'PolicyMismatch' error occurs. After random hours (max. 50 hours), this error gets resolve and connection is being established successfully. I am not able to figure out what exactly the issue is.
List of error as per logs:

QMI Protocol Error 2,237 means ip-support-mismatch and 6,55 means multiple-connection-to-same-pdn-not-allowed. I am not able to understand these and how to resolve them.
Following is the Network Manager connection details:

I am attaching debug logs of Modem Manager.
