Additional Information

I’m running OpenWebUI v0.6.15 with RAG backed by Qdrant on kubernetes cluster, and everything works. However, after upgrading OpenWebUI from v0.6.15 to newer version(v0.6.16, ...., v0.6.33), RAG stops retrieving data from the Qdrant vector database. I’ve had to roll back to v0.6.15 to restore functionality.

However, after upgrading OpenWebUI from v0.6.15 to newer version(v0.6.16, ...., v0.6.33), RAG stops retrieving data from the Qdrant vector database. I’ve had to roll back to v0.6.15 to restore functionality.
