Enviornment vars are not loading from .env file on rapid page refresh

[janakaonline]

Hi,
After the recent 5.1 update, I'm getting "ERROR: exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'No supported encrypter found.." error when I do short interval page refreshes. This only occurs sometimes. I have tried to debug the error, but so far I'm only able to find that the $_ENV is empty so the env() function returning the default value.

With some googling I have found that this is some sort of a common issue.

As in the link, I have tried hard cording the config files and it works.
Even it a temporary fix for the issue, the core problem still to be fixed.

I am digging in to the issue, but I thought it would be better to get this fixed faster with some support from experts.

If someone has a fix for this I would love to hear it.
thanks

I've found the issue still occurs even after config:cache we've got bugsnag on our sites and all of them are getting the occasional occurrence of this.
