I'm not seeing this error @JessChowdhury. Are you still getting this error? I would like you to show me if so.

This error was caused by incompatibility with MongoDB version v4.4.0.

For anyone experiencing this in the future, check your version against the published MongoDB Software Lifecycle schedule found here. Payload does not support versions which have passed their End Of Life Date.

If your version is outdated, follow instructions to upgrade to the latest stable MongoDB version.

If your version is current and the issue persists, drop us a note here or open a new issue. Thanks!
