Excel basic:Open command gets error. Description: An unexpected error occurred. 
This task was running without error in production, but it gets error for a few days.

In development it has no error on this step.

Filepath for excelbasic:open is correct

What should I do?

I figured out that this may get error because of  the excel file capacity. Excel file is 6214kb. It was not opening with Excel basic:open
I decreased the data, then it started to run.

Interesting that this was the solution, because on the documentation page it is stated that the maximum Excel file size in the Excel basic package is 30 MB not ~6 MB.
