 - Pin sphinx-autodoc-typehints with <v1.15 ([#11400](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11400))
 - Skip testing with PyTorch 1.7 and Python 3.9 on Ubuntu ([#11217](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11217))
+- Fixed type promotion when tensors of higher category than float are logged ([#11401](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/11401))
