Problem with Ansys Maxwell "current leak to the air"

In summary, the issue of "current leak to the air" in Ansys Maxwell refers to unintended current paths that can occur in electromagnetic simulations, potentially leading to inaccurate results. This problem typically arises from improper boundary conditions or model configurations, resulting in currents escaping the intended conductive regions. Users are advised to carefully review their simulation setup and ensure that boundaries are correctly defined to mitigate this leakage and improve the accuracy of their analyses.

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to simulate an electric plasma arc (tip to tip configuration), same as the one shown in the picture here, I made the vacuum region such as it is 50% from the sides, and touches the current in and out region
However when I run the analysis, I am getting the following error "current leak to the air"
Anyone can help me figure out what the issue might be and how to fix it? I tried a more refined mesh too, same issue
any tip is appreciated I am still new to maxwell
