Secret manager in use

secret_source_in_use

Secrets still read from this secret manager.

What this means​

The change would remove the secret manager from a project or environment, or remove it entirely, while secrets there still read from it.

How to fix it​

Remove those secrets or set them to values, then make the change again. errors[] names each project or environment and how many secrets read from it.

Retry behavior​

Retry after the secrets no longer read from it.

How it appears in the response​
