We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with Rank Math after upgrading to MySQL 8. The issue you are experiencing is likely due to a conflict with the MySQL 8 update.
The patch you applied from the gist should help resolve the issue. However, to confirm if the patch is included in the new release of Rank Math, I recommend updating the plugin and checking if the issue persists. If it does, please let us know, and we will investigate further.
