@<1570583227918192640:profile|FloppySwallow46> can you check the instances in the AWS dashboard? is it possible they are stuck and the autoscaler cannot communicate with them?

as for the limit issue, can you please include the complete autoscaler log?

and also 4 of my task failed but the 5th one runs completely fine,

it spins up 8 instances even though my config says 5

(also, did you include the complete log?)

I enqueued 5 task to this auto scaler, 4 of them failed but the 5th one is working as expected..those enqued task are the clone of completed task

We limit the allowed calls per IP - to make sure the server is not blocked accidentally. We enabled over 1000 calls per minute.

Hi @<1570583227918192640:profile|FloppySwallow46> , can you please share the autoscaler configuration?

Can you also please share logs of the autoscaler?

I am on GCP rn, not working with AWS

Hey, whats the rate limit?

isn't it strange that one of them working and other got failed? and also when the config says 5 instances why it spun up 8 instances? Any idea about it

Hi @<1570583227918192640:profile|FloppySwallow46> . We've update the rate limits. Can you please check if the issue is still occurring?

The reason they failed can probably be identified in their logs

How did the tasks fail?

same config no change.

You can get tot he underlying task log by going to the autoscaler configuration in the UI, clicking the "mode details" link at the bottom and downloading the console log from the task window that will open

strangely, I reset my task and qued them again, and its all working..
