How can I fix this in production - it works fine in staging but is failing in production. It gives me a server action ID but I don't know how to match it.
The help page linked ([link](https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/failed-to-find-server-action)) is a little vague.
Any help appreciated!

The guidance says I can add a
It's just a string right? or am I meant to encrypt a specific key?
NEXT_SERVER_ACTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY which is cool but I don't really understand the "This variable must be AES-GCM encrypted" part?It's just a string right? or am I meant to encrypt a specific key?

Are you scaling your application to multiple instances or is it just a single instance? How are you hosting?

Hi @Asian black bear - I'm on Vercel as a basic (hobby) plan.

Which version of Next.js are you using?
Eulophid waspOP
"next": "^15.3.2"
A full build works locally (and as I stay dev is fine) but this error is filling my logs.

You should maybe test one or two prior patch versions to see if it's a regression. Sadly, I can't help you otherwise, the possible causes I was familiar with are not really relevant in your case.

So try a different Next version? OK, I can do that I think 🙂
Thanks for your help!

ugh, that hasn't helped - thanks though!
Any ideas how I can debug - I don't have much to go on.

since you use vercel you can just use skew protection https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/failed-to-find-server-action#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20deploying%20your%20Next.js%20application%20to%20Vercel%2C%20you%20can%20use%20the%20feature%20Skew%20Protection%20to%20ensure%20assets%20and%20functions%20from%20the%20previous%20version%20are%20still%20available%2C%20even%20after%20a%20new%20version%20is%20deployed.

Thanks @joulev but we're not currently on a Pro plan so can't enable skew protection.
although i suggest you read this thread in its entirety https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/75541
