Unexpected token * exception when run by pm2

I get the following exception when trying to start a node process over pm2 - when I execute the app.js directly everything is working just fine. I see that in the stack trace there is the node_modules folder of pm2 mentioned - why is that?

30|MyPm2Process  | /smprod/dev-backend/node_modules/tedious/lib/token/stream-parser.js:60
30|MyPm2Process  |   static async *parseTokens(iterable, debug, options, colMetadata = []) {
30|MyPm2Process  |                ^
