Cannot decrypt without ENCRYPTION_KEY env variable

As of Today (Aug 8), with no change on my end, "cannot decrypt without ENCRYPTION_KEY env variable" shows as an error message failing my Postgres queries intermittently.

I can run the same query from the query editor multiple times and get this error message about 20% to 50% of the time. It's much more common on page load.

I'm using regular hosted Retool. This is a standard Postgres connection via password auth and SSH tunnel to a private subnet. This is connected to a fairly small and standard AWS RDS Auora Postgres instance.

Anyone seen this before? Ideas?

Hi Evan_Morikawa! Thanks for bringing this up. This was an issue on our end. We've since found a resolution for this. Are you able to run your queries again and see if the errors still exist?

Thanks for replying so quickly! It looks like it's working on my end.
