I am having trouble with my "https://railway.com/project/f141e387-9771-4a11-a192-98e84bbe4e61?" - Proactive-illumination application deployments.
What the diagnosis says:
"This deployment failed due to a persistent infrastructure issue at the container creation stage... This same failure has affected 8 consecutive deployments across 7 different commits since May 10, so redeploying alone is unlikely to help. Please reach out to Railway support."
Next step: You need to contact Railway support with this information. They can investigate the container scheduling issue for your service. The problem is on their infrastructure, not your code.
Can you please assist with this?

This is what the AI diagnostic says "This deployment failed at the container creation stage due to a persistent infrastructure issue. The build and image publish completed successfully, but Railway has been unable to create a container for this service for over 2 days across 12+ consecutive deployments. Please reach out to Railway support for help resolving this."

Just tried this, it didnt work, it got the same "This deployment failed at the container creation stage due to a persistent infrastructure issue. The build and image publish completed successfully, but container creation has been failing across 12+ consecutive deployments since May 10. Please reach out to Railway support to investigate."

this was the most recent diagnostic summary: I'll fetch the build failure log for you. Let me first check the environment status to identify which service has a failed build.

Now let me get the build logs for the most recent failed deployment:

The build logs show the build completed successfully. Let me get the deployment diagnosis to see what actually failed:
Diagnosed deployment
Build Status: The build itself completed successfully. The failure is at the container creation stage, not the build.
Root Cause: Infrastructure error. The deployment failed at CREATE_CONTAINER after the build and image publish succeeded. This has been happening consistently since May 10 across 12+ deployments, even with different commits.
Key Details:
- Build: ✓ Completed (npm ci, Vite build all successful)
- Image publish: ✓ Completed
- Container creation: ✗ Failed with "Failed to create deployment"
- Service has a volume mount at
/app/datawhich may be related
Recommendation: This is a persistent infrastructure issue outside your control. Contact Railway support to investigate the container scheduling failure for this service.

can anyone at railway help me, that is the suggestion from Diagnostic tracker and ClaudeCode, that someone from Railway will have to understand what is wrong with their system as it’s not a code problem?
