Not sure what it means or if there is an actual issue. I will say that I have not had/observed any issues while using immich.
I am using the latest

v1.138.0

v1.138.0

v1.138.0

v1.138.0on Unraid via the recommended docker compose method.

I have had a look through github and discord but couldn't find anything to understand what is wrong.
Would greatly appreciate support on this. Thankyou.
