Hi @jemishgopani let's not introduce a flag but instead change the errors to info logs as was suggested in the issue you mentioned instead.

One thing to note is that I would like to have this in v8 as I am also updating the click command. @jemishgopani would you mind creating a backport for v8?

You can do that by using git cherry-pick like so:

1. grab the commit hashes from your commit (you can use git log in your branch or you can copy them from this PR)
2. follow https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/configuring-a-remote-repository-for-a-fork to update your repository with the upstream
3. then run git fetch upstream followed by git checkout v8 and git checkout -b backport/<branchname>
4. lastly run git cherry-pick <commit hash> for each commit you did, start with the oldest and end with the latest
5. push the changes and create a new PR to merge with v8
