Hey! I'm trying to enable the sticky bucketing feature, but I want to make sure everything is set up and works correctly for the old tests that are already running. Could you please help with some questions: 1. If I enable the sticky bucketing feature in the organizational settings, how will it influence tests that are already running? 2. If there is an error in the configuration of sticky bucketing, is my understanding correct that in the worst case, Growthbook will just use default bucketing without variations being "sticky"?

Hi there. 1. Yes, it takes effect immediately across all running experiments. If you need to exclude some in-flight experiments, the safest way is to use the REST API's updateExperiment to set
disableStickyBucketing: true
on specific experiment. You can also do this in the UI by setting the experiment status back to "draft", making this change, and then setting it back to "running" again. 2. Yes, if sticky bucketing fails for whatever reason, it will behave just as if there was no sticky bucketing.
