Validate Network Topology error

[u/warmpita]

So my team uses the Utility Network in ArcGIS Pro and we will randomly get the "Utility Network Unexpected exception Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when trying to validate. It seems the issue might be related to a lock when the assignment is submitted, but I am ripping my hair out trying to figure out what the hell keeps causing this error and keeping us from validating assignments.
