 * BUGFIX: [vmstorage](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html): log warning about switching to ReadOnly mode only on state change. Before, vmstorage would log this warning every 1s. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5159) for details.
 * BUGFIX: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html): show browser authorization window for unauthorized requests to unsupported paths if the `unauthorized_user` section is specified. This allows properly authorizing the user. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5236) for details.
 * BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): fix the `Disable cache` toggle at `JSON` and `Table` views. Previously response caching was always enabled and couldn't be disabled at these views.
+* BUGFIX: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): correctly display query errors on [Explore Prometheus Metrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#metrics-explorer) page. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5202) for details.
