https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config/issues/1543 maybe this is relation question

Comment From: OlgaMaciaszek

These versions are not compatible. You should use Spring Cloud Dependency Management instead of adding SC OpenFeign version manually. The SC release train that works with Boot 2.4.1 is 2020.0.0. I suggest using Spring Initializer to generate a correct pom template.
