bucket suddenly gone from pm2+

What's going wrong?

since a few months ago, my vps bucket suddenly vanished from pm2+ and i can't seem to upload it again or anything. pm2 plus doesn't show the bucket and pm2 link shows this:

[PM2.IO][ERROR] Wrong public key
[PM2.IO] Contact support contact@keymetrics.io and send us the error message

using pm2 5.3.1

the website shows an error and loads the bucket that's not my vps bucket

How could we reproduce this issue?

• have a bucket suddenly disappear for some reason
• watch

Start by reviewing the pm2 link entry point and the PM2+ bucket association, using the reported “Wrong public key” message and daemon logs as the reproduction context. Determine why the VPS bucket is missing or mismatched; done means the correct bucket is visible in PM2+ and pm2 link no longer reports the key error.
