 Hi Guys, I found out this problem and it is a bit weird, I tried to debug,
 but it looks everything on my side is correct, and is just the function
 failing.

 Environment:
 WP_DEBUG on
 PHP logs clear
 WP latest

 Situation:
 I use a WP menu on the header. Every template calls to the_header() and
 inside header.php I call to :
 wp_nav_menu(array(
                                 'theme_location' => 'main',
                                 'container' => 'nav',
                                 'menu' => 'main' ));
 It works like a charm everywhere but in a specific archive of a custom
 taxonomy (it works fine for others custom taxonomies).
 Trying to debug I empty the full template and leave only the_header()
 the_footer() to avoid conflicts, still happens the same.

 I started to debug using other functions related:

 In every archive I get the proper array with the menu in the last call,
 but in the one failing i get:

 var_dump(get_nav_menu_locations());
 '''array(5) { ["primary"]=> int(122) ["bottom"]=> int(124) ["secondary"]=>
 int(0) ["mobile-menu"]=> int(122) ["lang"]=> int(125) }'''

 var_dump(is_nav_menu(122));
 '''bool(true)
 '''
 var_dump(wp_get_nav_menu_items('main'));
 '''array(0) { }
 '''

 Any ideas?
