influxd downgrade	The `influxd downgrade` command downgrades the metadata schema used by `influxd` to match the schema of an older release.	influxdb_v2 parent influxd	201	/influxdb/v2/install/upgrade/downgrade/

Use the influxd downgrade command to downgrade the metadata schema used by influxd to match the metadata schema of a older release.

InfluxDB does not guarantee backwards-compatibility with earlier releases. Attempting to start an older influxd binary with a BoltDB or SQLite file that has been migrated to a newer schema will result in a startup error. This command downgrades metadata schemas to match the schemas of an older release and allows the older influxd binary to boot successfully.
