Customer has reported that on all (connected) OpenShift Container Platform clusters since roughly 15:45 CET (14:45 UTC) they are seeing the "community-operators" Pods repeatedly crashing:

The logs show the following:

---
time="2023-12-18T15:11:26Z" level=fatal msg="cache requires rebuild: cache reports digest as \"171343b3bec8c85c\", but computed digest is \"4551d160b0bf9d6d\""

The same was also reported internally: https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/C3VS0LV41/p1702911540727929

OpenShift Container Platform 4.12.41

Since this afternoon (CET)

0. Ensure OpenShift Container Platform cluster is connected (not disconnected)
1. Observe Pods in "openshift-marketplace" namespace

"community-operators" Pods are crashing with "cache requires rebuild: cache reports digest [..]" error

No Pods are in CrashLoopBackOff

Possible workaround is discussed in https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/C3VS0LV41/p1702913235898179?thread_ts=1702911540.727929&cid=C3VS0LV41
