Hello! My Netlify profile with the site: [Netlify App](https://app.netlify.com/sites/check-your-weather-days/overview) On the first commit to my GitHub, I forgot to hide my API key, so I removed it from OpenWeatherMap and requested a new one, I added to my vscode new API key and checked if it works, and it is working. Then I added a fresh API key to env variables to netlify. ![401 unauthorized request , calling wrong API KEY|690x398] (upload://6wugYXEICKMcrnzb038n1sZLHhK.png) ![Netlify env key](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/0/5/05ebcac74ba03ce56bbd023c6f650efb61f7aefe.png) But when I try to make a call, netlify still uses the old key which was replaced by me inside vscode and via env variables in netlify site config. ---
