Cannot read properties of null even though I check

In a page.tsx I have some code somewhat like this:

if (!user) {
    notFound();
}

// Do something with user
console.log(user.partner_id);


I check if !user, so why do I get an error like this: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'field')

well its saying cannot read property of null, meaning user is null
Also im 100% sure it exists
you tried console.log(user)

no because i dont see this that often, every now and then and no particular user i can tell. Its also only in prd that i have this issue
Are you sure your .env is right?
try running npm run build locally and npm start and see
@Sun bear is your issue resolved
