I think my post is related to this in a way, which you can find [here](https://forum.biobakery.org/t/humann3-database-errors/8662).

I am trying to run Humann3 and it is prompting me to update the chocophlan database to vJan25, but when I did, it said I needed to use the old database of v201901\_31. If you could please help me that would be great, thanks!
