Hi @Patrick_C,

What you’re trying to achieve is basically a downgrade and it is not supported straight forward.  
As noted in [this question](https://forums.percona.com/t/percona-release-cycle/18781), quoting Matthew

> We don’t follow any particular release schedule. Each time a new community version is released, we must manually merge all changes from upstream with our own changes. This takes time. How much time is dependent on how many backwards-breaking things MySQL introduce in that version.

That said, looking at [release dates for past versions](https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtradb-cluster/8.0/release-notes/release-notes_index.html), it should release by end of this month but don’t quote me on that 🙂

If you cannot wait, your only straightforward option is use logical restore to the 8.0.32 PXC.

Thanks,  
K
