==== Impact ====
User was logged out eventually due to autocreation failing with `globalblocking-blockedtext-range` and then `the session store entry is for an anonymous user, but the session metadata indicates a non-anonynmous user` and then `Failed to load session, unpersisting` and then `Metadata merge failed: MediaWiki\Session\MetadataMergeException: Key "CentralAuthSource" changed in /srv/mediawiki/1.43/includes/session/SessionProvider.php:338`
The ::loadFromSession warning was triggered 8 times in a row. It's a warning so not too bad but feels worth reporting. The message accounts for around 0.4% of our logs. I haven't checked if they are all the same trace though.
