Constants are working in theory, but ignored in real life

Hello,

I am using this module from a time ago in some Wordpress installations. For now was working because the settings were set directly on the plugin configuration page but now by requirements of our environments I need to set it using constants. The reason is mainly because the DB of the environment will be replaced by the DB in another environment from time to time, so the configuration params will come with that dump (that's a problem).

The problem is that in theory the constants are working because the configuration page shows the settings greyed out and with the correct configurations that I set via those constants, but in real life the settings seems to be ignored and instead is using the database settings.

My constants:

define('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_BUCKET', getenv('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_BUCKET'));
define('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_KEY_FILE_PATH', getenv('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_KEY_FILE_PATH'));
define('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_CUSTOM_DOMAIN', getenv('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_CUSTOM_DOMAIN') ? getenv('WP_STATELESS_MEDIA_CUSTOM_DOMAIN') : null);

Steps I have follow to trigger the issue:

I have copied the DB from my PRO environment to this one (PRE).
I have changed the storage name to avoid unwanted uploads to the PRO env.
An error message was shown in the top of the page, which is correct because the PRO service account cannot write on the PRE storage.
I have enabled the contstants to replace the wrong settings by the correct ones. The settings page shows the correct data so the constants seems to be working.
The error message has not gone and everytime I upload a file the link is the local one instead the storage link.
After a long time trying to debug the problem, I have decided to disable the constants related to the Service Account and Storage Name, and I've place the correct json via the settings page (the storage name was modified before).
The error has gone and the upload seems to work, but not fully. The domain field is also ignored and it's using the PRO setting which is in the database instead the one that I am providing via the constant.
Well, that is a big problem so I have decided to clear all the settings related with the storage, the service account and the domain in the settings page (after disabling the constants again).
After removing all, I have enabled the contstants again to see if maybe were ignored because there were settings in the database but no, the settings provided by constants are ignored even now with the related settings empty. The error I get now is that the storage setting cannot be empty when in the settings page I can clearly see that is filled by the name provided in the constant.

A summary can be the title: The settings provided by the constans are readed and considered in the settings page but not in the rest of the plugin, so it's not working as expected.

Best regards.

It says "bucket accesible" and "set by constants", but when I go to a site to upload any file, I can see this: Captura-desde-2024-11-27-13-16-00.png

If I upload any file the upload is done locally instead to the storage.

My Wordpress is multisite, I don't know if that can be the problem.

The above error is now that I have emptied all the configurations, but after emtying it I was able to see how it was trying to use the stored settings instead the constant provided settings (just like now that is using the empty stored settings). If I go to the settings page in the site were I am trying to upload the files, I can see how the settings are also filled with the correct data like in the network settings page.

Best regards.
