All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits along each German Whisper line must have a difference of at least 5. Digits may repeat on the line.
Thermometers: Digits along each thermometer must increase starting from the bulb end. Digits may repeat on thermometers.
Arrows: The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell. Digits may repeat on arrows.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.
XV: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Adjacent cells connected with a V must sum to 5. Not all X's or V's are shown.
For clarity, R5C6 is the bulb of both a bidirectional arrow and a bidirectional thermometer.

Double-check that you haven't made a mistake somewhere? It should be working fine

@baltoguy You're right, the rules for thermometers contradict each other. But I followed "Digits ... must increase" from the beginning only and so I had no issues.

I got stuck. The only way I could get a single solution was by rejecting this rule: Digits may repeat on thermometers.
Please clarify whether this is puzzle is slow thermometers or regular thermometers. thank you

Normal non-slow thermos, but digit may repeat as it's technically just a single thermometer (only one bulb)
