First upgrade to the latest version (there are some new patches related to this I think that went in a few hours ago). Open `yourwebsite/admin/upgrade` and upgrade to the latest version (+101 is working for me now, so you’re good there)

Then from the terminal

> cd /var/discourse  
> sudo ./launcher enter app  
> rails c  
> Sidekiq.redis { |r| puts r.flushall }  
> exit  
> exit  
> sudo ./launcher restart app

Then `reboot` the machine. I did this loop 2 times and it solved the issue.

I think someone also mentioned you can try a few things

1. Leave it for 24 hours and the scheduler should kick off again and this error should go away
2. Force the schedules to start, open `yourwebsite/sidekiq`, goto `scheduler` and trigger the schedule `Jobs::VersionCheck`
