Metabase 65 is now the default version
Metabase 65 has been available on Clever Cloud since November 3, 2026. It’s now the default version, used when CC_METABASE_VERSION is latest or isn’t set, with the release 0.65.3. It isn’t a Long Term Support (LTS) release: Metabase supports it until January 1, 2027, according to its version support policy. Metabase 64 remains the LTS branch.
Add-ons that use latest move to Metabase 65 automatically, without downtime: review its breaking changes. Add-ons pinned to a version or a branch, such as 0.64 or 1.64, keep it until you change it. To stay on an LTS branch, pin your add-on to 0.64, or 1.64 for the enterprise edition (EE): Metabase supports this branch until December 1, 2027.
What’s new in Metabase 65.3
Metabase 65.3 adds MB_SQL_PARSING_TIMEOUT_MS to bound the time spent parsing SQL queries, 30 seconds by default. Dashboards get a card-level filter interface. The password reset form now rejects the current password. Database connection details, such as the host, port, or database name, no longer accept the ?, &, ;, and # characters.
The native query editor no longer selects the first database automatically. Metabot stops offering SQL tools to users who can’t run native queries. The AI exploration entry of the + New menu disappears for users without AI access. Anonymous usage analytics of self-hosted instances now go to Metabase Track by default: the anonymous tracking setting still controls them.
This release also fixes several bugs. Metabase honors MB_TRACING_ENABLED and MB_SEND_NEW_SSO_USER_ADMIN_EMAIL again, and read-only ClickHouse connections work again. Query validation with connection impersonation no longer adds 10 to 40 seconds per query, and remote sync marks an existing Library as synced.
How to update a pinned add-on
You can update through the add-on’s dashboard in the Clever Cloud Console. You can also set CC_METABASE_VERSION of the underlying Java application to latest, 0.65, or 1.65 for the enterprise edition (EE), then rebuild it without the build cache. With Clever Tools, run:
