Update on HelmRelease values doesn't replace pods

[nicogl]

I have a HelmRelease which is an overlay that overrides some configuration values of a base HelmRelease.
My HelmRelease is already deployed and running, but if I update any value in the overlay that customizes the chart values, the reconciliation doesn't seem to pick up the changes. In other words, no pods are re-created unless I remove the running HelmRelease and create it again. In fact, I get alert messages saying that Flux controllers realized about the change, but then it's not being applied, nothing changes.

Given the case I described above, shouldn't the running pods be replaced? Any idea what could be causing the issue?

This depends on what you changed, if you for example just changed a value in a ConfigMap that is part of a Helm release, you need additional Helm specific mechanics so that your pods also "roll".
