Protobuf Error, TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.

[MartinStoev00]

I am getting the following error and am not sure how to fix:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

downgrading to protobuf 3.20.1 did the trick
pip3 install protobuf==3.20.1
