dotenv: Getting error while reinstalling the dotenv (updating to `16.4.4` should fix. apologies for the bad patch release of `16.4.3` everyone)

Thanks @motdotla. We’ll test out removing the import and
configcall. Thanks for maintaining dotenv. 🎉Reiterating @utkarsh621x, we are on node v 20.10.0 when we got the error.
Sir i am already on node v20.10.0 but still facing the error
I successfully resolved the error by removing the caret (^) from the dotenv version specifier in the package.json file. It appears that there were compatibility issues with the latest version being installed by the caret, so I switched to version 16.0.0, which is functioning as expected.
Hi, getting the same error with latest 16.4.3 version. I am using Node.js version 12.16.3. It looks like the optional chaining operator (?.) is not supported in Node.js v12. Only starting from node v14 it is supported.
Your package.json does say this: “engines”: { “node”: “>=12” }, Seems to be in violation.
