Hi @functure !

Could you tell us more about how you're queuing jobs on this queue? This would happen if you queued jobs directly without going through the send_task API.

Thanks!

Hi @functure !

Any news on this?

thanks

Hi @sylvinus . Really sorry for extremely late reply. I completely forgot about this after I set config parameter USE_LARGE_JOB_IDS = True as a workaround. I call mrq.job.queue_jobs for queuing jobs and use regular queues. If it helps, I can try to send the problematic redis entries or any other info you may require.

OK great! I think it may have been due to the switch between both values for this parameter, you have to completely empty the DB. thanks!
