Laravel returning RuntimeException error log randomly

My application works great. But if I happen to make a request several times throughout, either ajax or randomly pages, I get the following error:

local.ERROR: exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid.' in C:\wamp\www\application\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Encryption\EncryptionServiceProvider.php:29

This happens randomly and in both local and production environments.

My current setup:

'key' => env('APP_KEY', 'SomeRandomString'),

'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',

.env file includes: APP_KEY=eyckMXzoR8AeurnkpBBQ8k2Ryp0zo21l

I've tried: php artisan key:generate but the problem still continues. Has anyone else had a similar issue?
