cat .env | grep NODE_ENV
NODE_ENV="production"

But in my next.config.js when I console.log(process.env.NODE_ENV) it shows "development". Wtf?

No other .env files

I think this may be because I'm running next instead of next start

I'm running with pm2, startup command is node /var/www/site/node_modules/.bin/next

correct. next = next dev which sets environment to development
