 - Fixed `move_metrics_to_cpu` moving the loss on cpu while training on device ([#9308](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/9308))
 
 
+- Fixed incorrect main progress bar indicator when resuming training mid-epoch ([#9310](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/9310))

 ## [1.4.5] - 2021-08-31
 
 - Fixed reduction using `self.log(sync_dict=True, reduce_fx={mean,max})` ([#9142](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/9142))
