it shouldn't be throwing an exception, just a warning.
in any case, you can disable this check by setting the environment variable `PULUMI_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=true`

<@UCWG26BH7> Is there an api I can call to set the same environmental value? I ask because I will be running my Pulumi automation program in a transient container runtime, this is currently a pub-sub subscriber within a Dapr application.

<@U025Z6MCEER> there's no API no, but you could set the env var at the container level (assuming it's a Docker container)

`ENV PULUMI_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=true`
