springboot consumer wont consume any messages

I have a springboot consumer app. When I ran it the first time, it was consuming messages from the Kafka topic. But when I ran it again, it stopped consuming. In the logs I see the following message.

2022-08-02 00:14:08.130  INFO 96561 --- [ntainer#0-0-C-1] o.a.k.c.consumer.internals.Fetcher       : [Consumer clientId=consumer-my-transformation-local-1, groupId=my-transformation-local] Fetch position FetchPosition{offset=17400, offsetEpoch=Optional.empty, currentLeader=LeaderAndEpoch{leader=Optional[localhost:9092 (id: 1 rack: null)], epoch=0}} is out of range for partition CraveVideoTestLog-0, resetting offset
2022-08-02 00:14:08.135  INFO 96561 --- [ntainer#0-0-C-1] o.a.k.c.c.internals.SubscriptionState    : [Consumer clientId=consumer-my-transformation-local-1, groupId=my-transformation-local] Resetting offset for partition CraveVideoTestLog-0 to position FetchPosition{offset=56464, offsetEpoch=Optional.empty, currentLeader=LeaderAndEpoch{leader=Optional[localhost:9092 (id: 1 rack: null)], epoch=0}}.

I understand that the consumer could not get the offset. In situations like this, the consumer will refer to auto-offset-reset property. As you can see, I have set it to earliest, hoping that the consumer would read from the beginning. But it does not.

application.yml

spring:
  application:
    name: my-transformation
  kafka:
    bootstrap-servers: ${BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS:localhost:9092}
    producer:
      key-serializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer
      value-serializer: io.confluent.kafka.serializers.KafkaAvroSerializer
      retries: 2
      compression-type: snappy
    consumer:
      group-id: ${GROUP_ID:my-transformation}
      auto-offset-reset: earliest
      key-deserializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer
      value-deserializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer

In my Java class

    @SendTo("output-topic-here")
    @KafkaListener(topics = "${my-transformation.input.topic}", errorHandler = "myErrorHandler")
    public Message<?> process(Message<String> in, ConsumerRecord<String, String> record) throws Exception {
        log.info("Going to process event for key: {} offset: {} partition: {}", record.key(), record.offset(), record.partition());
    }

I tried out a few of things.

• I set the auto-offset-reset value to none. As expected, it threw an exception complaining about the offset.
• I created a new consumer group. I could see that the new consumer group was created from the confluent UI. But, again, the messages were not consumed.
• I read through a lot of posts. Here are a few that are very close to the issue I am facing. Link 1 Link 2

I feel I am missing something really silly, but could not figure out what it is.
