Make sure you have updated in the nodebb configuration with the property
When you use auto sclaing(HPA) of NodeBB, this is must. Otherwise you will end with lot of inconsistency in the API responses.
Note: This property will help if you use on Redis as your DB(not with the conbination of Mongo+Redis)
Thanks for the details mentioned in this post
