Why spread-minimizing tokens could not work?

[deniszh]

We're not using shuffle sharding yet, and I noticed quite severe memory disbalance in ingesters, so, we decided to migrate to spread-minimizing tokens. So, I did migration as described in https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/configure/configure-spread-minimizing-tokens/ ... and nothing happens?
I still see same disbalance in cortex_ingester_memory_series (ignore pod name - only ingester deployed there)

Writers and distributors have following flags enabled:

 -ingester.ring.spread-minimizing-join-ring-in-order=true
 -ingester.ring.spread-minimizing-zones=zone-a,zone-b,zone-c
 -ingester.ring.token-generation-strategy=spread-minimizing
 -ingester.ring.tokens-file-path=

Can it be because I was not able to remove /data/tokens at last step because distroless image now?
On the other hand disbalance didn't go after migrating first zone, so, don't think it's related.

Still don't know what was the issue, but after rerolling cluster issue is gone 🤷
