url id changes breaks my site when I update a CSS file - what the heck!?

Every time I make a change to the CSS file I uploaded to Cloudinary then I overwrite the existing file it seems like the id in the Cloudinary url path to the file changes.
That obviously breaks my site.
When I remove the id – the new changes made to the CSS file don’t seem to get access by a url without the id.
Why did the Cloudinary engineers code that id into the link?
Is there a way to get around the id in the link?

  Hi Radu,

  The number you're referring to (v1....) is the version number and cannot be removed when uploading a new image to the same public_id. Please note that we use versions as a mean to ensure that the most recent image is used.

  Cloudinary's does not require the version component to be present in URLs (but you might get a previously cached version in this case). 

  For more information please refer to the following- https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/202520912-What-are-image-versions-
