Since today or so, agent pods stuck in CrashBackLoopOff with the following error:

time="2025-07-25T07:26:50Z" level=fatal msg="crowdsec init: while initializing LAPIClient: authenticate watcher (crowdsec-agent-qw9s5): API error: ent: machine not found"

Is there a way to solve?

Hi,

I had to delete and re-deploy the chart, probably due to persistent volumes? Is there a proper guide to upgrade and persistence volumes?

Thank you.
