When does this happen?

IF Helm chart deployment with db.deployStandalone=true overwrites any pre-existing database secret, forcing use of hard-coded secret name and keys.

How others solved it

THEN After helm install/upgrade, overwrite the chart-managed secret (default name <fullname>-dbcredentials) with your custom credentials using kubectl/oc, then restart the deployment. For future chart versions, consider configuring db.secret.name and db.secret.usernameKey/passwordKey in values if supported.

# Overwrite secret after install:
kubectl delete secret <fullname>-dbcredentials --ignore-not-found
kubectl create secret generic <fullname>-dbcredentials --from-literal=username=<youruser> --from-literal=password=<yourpass>
kubectl rollout restart deployment/<deployment-name>
