Continuing the discussion from [A check for updates has not been performed lately. Ensure sidekiq is running](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-check-for-updates-has-not-been-performed-lately-ensure-sidekiq-is-running/69726):

I’m running 2.8.0.beta7 ([cd8822cb50](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/cd8822cb5056e6a1ee39016bb7527672a655d920)), just upgraded. And I get this same error that `sidekiq` is not running. Does anyone else have this same issue?

Yes, [I did](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sidekiq-wont-run-jobs-versioncheck-even-fresh-after-installation/207386/7), but I believe it’s been fixed:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b1603c866781dc3d88a97cf3e1ccd1f33b6c7163](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b1603c866781dc3d88a97cf3e1ccd1f33b6c7163)

You can hurry-up the recheck if you go into `/sidekiq/scheduler` and manually trigger the `Jobs::VersionCheck`. 👍
