ActionCable and Heroku Redis configuration - ruby-on-rails

Question

Last week RedisToGo was terminated on Herokum, leaving me with no choice but to find an alternative. I got a new subscription from Heroku: Heroku Redis.
Everything seems to work fine (all tasks/jobs) except things related to ActionCable.
[ActionCable] [#######] Registered connection (#########)
2022-08-17T00:40:23.213184+00:00 app[web.1]: #<Thread:0x00007e######/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/actioncable-5.1.7/lib/action_cable/subscription_adapter/redis.rb:144 run> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
2022-08-17T00:40:23.213206+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/redis-4.1.4/lib/redis/client.rb:268:in `rescue in io': Connection lost (ECONNRESET) (Redis::ConnectionError)
I spent the last few days trying all sort of trick, but nothing work.
My cable.yml file looks like:
production:
adapter: redis
url: <%= ENV['REDIS_URL'] %>
my redis.rb file looks like this:
uri = if Rails.env == 'production'
URI.parse(ENV["REDIS_URL"])
else
URI.parse("redis://localhost:6379")
end
Resque.redis = Redis.new(host: uri.host, port: uri.port, password: uri.password, ssl_params: { verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE })
Am I missing certain parameters that results in the error ?

I use Heroku Redis and here's what my cable.yml looks like:
development:
adapter: redis
url: redis://localhost:6379/1
channel_prefix: myapp_development
test:
adapter: redis
url: redis://localhost:6379/1
channel_prefix: myapp_test
production:
adapter: redis
url: <%= ENV.fetch("REDIS_URL") { "redis://localhost:6379/1" } %>
channel_prefix: myapp_production
ssl_params:
verify_mode: <%= OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE %>
If your tasks and jobs don't use Redis (if ActionCable is the only thing trying to use Redis) then your Redis might not actually be set up properly. Here's the documentation.
Check to make sure Heroku actually set a REDIS_URL env variable:
$ heroku config | grep REDIS
> REDIS_URL: redis://h:asdfqwer1234asdf#ec2-111-1-1-1.compute-1.amazonaws.com:111
Make sure your instance has a normal configuration:
