ingester.max-global-series-per-user: 2000000 is not parsable in ingester values

To set max-global-series-per-user this is configuration we are using in helm chart 4.4.1

ingester:
  replicas: 3
  zoneAwareReplication:
    enabled: false
  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: "0.5"
      memory: 6Gi
    limits:
      cpu: "1"
      memory: 6Gi
  persistentVolume:
    size: 16Gi
  extraArgs:
    # Note that when increasing this to 1000000, the ingester couldn't start because of:
    # invalid value "1e+06" for flag -ingester.max-global-series-per-user: parse error
    "ingester.max-global-series-per-user": 990000

It is failing with this parsing error:

2024-05-03 15:00:54.068	invalid value "2e+06" for flag -ingester.max-global-series-per-user: parse error
		2024-05-03 14:55:45.060

Expected behavior

Value should be allowed in variabe

Environment

• Infrastructure: [ Kubernetes]
• Deployment tool: [helm]

Can you share the rendered manifests? The rendered manifest that I get on 4.4.1 is this

...
            - "-ingester.max-global-series-per-user=990000"
...

@dimitarvdimitrov I am not able to render the template with the following message

invalid value "2e+06" for flag -ingester.max-global-series-per-user: parse error

[dimitarvdimitrov]

can you share a reproducible command? I tried with this where /tmp/values.yaml contains the snippet from the original post, but everything seems to be working

helm template grafana/mimir-distributed --version 4.4.1 -f /tmp/values.yaml
