Plexpass CDN caching old versions?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#:1.18.3.2156
Player Version#: /

I use a script to check for updates. It seems that the plex website is serving old versions of Plexpass.

Reproduce:
If I use wget, curl or aria2c I keep getting an old version.
If I download manually using a browser, with the same uri (update channel, token, etc) I get the newest version.

show me what you’re using/doing please?

Browsing to the same link in browser downloads: plexmediaserver_1.18.4.2171-ac2afe5f8_amd64.deb

The channel numbers changed and downloading via the Public Repo or the Downloads page are the two supported methods.

Nothing I can do unfortunately as this was a management decision.
