+> When you perform an in-place upgrade of a secondary replica to a newer version of SQL Server, the database inside the availability group remains in the **Synchronizing / In recovery** or **Synchronized / In Recovery** state until the availability group is manually failed over, which finishes the recovery and upgrades the database. An upgraded primary replica can no longer ship logs to any lower version secondary replica and data movement stops and no automatic failover can occur for that replica, and your availability databases are vulnerable to data loss. After you upgrade the old primary, you may need to resume synchronization.
