'Dapr Service Invocation Connection Refused issue

I have a ASP.Net core Razor app that calls an api called TokenAPI, as well as another API called DevOps that calls the Token API, using the Service Invocation block. All of these are hosted in DAPR. The web app and 2 APIs are hosted locally with Docker Compose. The web app can sucessfully call the Token API using the service invocation block, but the DevOps API fails with "Exception":"System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Connection refused (127.0.0.1:3500)"

I am at a loss as to why this is not working and have been comparing the configuration in my docker-compose file, but cannot figure out why the web-to-api works, whilst the api-to-api fails. Both the Web App and DevOps api uses the same code and config used to call the Token API when creating calling CreateInvokeHttpClient during app startup. So, with code being te same, the only place I can think of, must be the docker-compose:

cas.tokens.api:
    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:80;https://+:443
    ports:
      - "5105:80"
      - "5115:443"
      - "50005:50001"
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}/Microsoft/UserSecrets:/root/.microsoft/usersecrets:ro
      - ${APPDATA}/ASP.NET/Https:/root/.aspnet/https:ro
    networks:
      - mynetwork

  cas.devops.api:
    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:80;https://+:443
    ports:
      - "5106:80"
      - "5116:443"
      - "50006:50001"
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}/Microsoft/UserSecrets:/root/.microsoft/usersecrets:ro
      - ${APPDATA}/ASP.NET/Https:/root/.aspnet/https:ro
    networks:
      - mynetwork

  cas.web:
    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
      - ASPNETCORE_URLS=https://+:443;http://+:80
    ports:
      - "5111:443"
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}/Microsoft/UserSecrets:/root/.microsoft/usersecrets:ro
      - ${APPDATA}/ASP.NET/Https:/root/.aspnet/https:ro
    networks:
      - mynetwork      
castokensapi-dapr:
        command: ["./daprd",
          "-app-id", "tokensapi",
          "-app-port", "80", --enable-api-logging,
          "-dapr-http-port", "3605",
          "-placement-host-address", "dapr-placement:50000",
          "-components-path", "/components",
          "-config", "/configuration/config.yaml"
          ]
        volumes:
          - "./dapr/components/:/components"
          - "./dapr/configuration/:/configuration"
    
      casdevopsapi-dapr:
        command: ["./daprd",
          "-app-id", "devopsapi",
          "-app-port", "80", --enable-api-logging,
          "-dapr-http-port", "3606",
          "-placement-host-address", "dapr-placement:50000",
          "-components-path", "/components",
          "-config", "/configuration/config.yaml"
          ]
        volumes:
          - "./dapr/components/:/components"
          - "./dapr/configuration/:/configuration"
    
      casweb-dapr:
        command: [
          "./daprd",
         "-app-id", "casweb", --enable-api-logging,
         "-placement-host-address", "dapr-placement:50000",
         "-components-path", "/components",
          "-config", "/configuration/config.yaml"
        ]
        volumes:
          - "./dapr/components/:/components"
          - "./dapr/configuration/:/configuration"

I am confused as to why DAPR resolves the endpoint to be 127.0.0.1:3500 instead of 127.0.0.1:3605, as per the config?

Below is a screenshot of what the app-id resolves for both service invocations from web-to-api to api-to-api.

Dapr HTTP Client

The issue seems to be that the service location is either not working or, there is something more fundamental that I misunderstand.

Any help is much appreciated

[UPDATE] I managed to get this to work, but not entirely sure why yet lol. Removing the "-dapr-http-port" fixes this issue, but I would still like to know why. Will post here when I know more.
