Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

🧵 Environment variable seems to be cached or not updating
🧵 Defined environment variable
🧵 Environment variable mapping

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

did you set the variable in the service or as shared variable? did you redeploy after setting the variable?
