Sentry events not using SENTRY_VERSION value

In our application we use the environment value, SENTRY_VERSION, to tell the SDK what the application version is. We are using the nodejs sdk.

This configuration has been in place for a little over a year and recently, the past few months, I have noticed that the version on events has not changed. Is there something I need to do to tell the SDK to use the environment variable, or perhaps a change in the SDK which I missed? I am not sure what additional information will be helpful here. Thank you

Typical env value:
SENTRY_VERSION=that-api-sessions@2.8.0-166.bd0c181
