Container stuck in "stopping" for 40+ min — service down (502), new deploys hang at "Creating containers"

My service has been down for over 40 minutes.

The container is wedged in "stopping" state and never finishes:

$ railway ssh

Your service's container is not running (status: stopping).

Deploy or restart your service, then try again.

Symptoms:

  • Public URL returns 502 continuously.

  • Dashboard shows the deployment as ACTIVE / "Deployment successful" and the

    service as Online, but nothing is actually serving.

  • "Restart" on the active deployment does nothing (no new container logs).

  • New deployments build fine (~14s, image pushed) but then hang forever at

    "Deploy > Creating containers...". I aborted them; only the ACTIVE one is left.

  • Runtime logs still show the old container's output, never a new start.

Setup: US West, 1 replica, persistent volume "antas-volume" mounted at /data.

I suspect the wedged container still holds the replica slot and the volume,

so no new container can be scheduled.

Project: c52717f3-e49d-42c7-b808-55ed305e4e89

Service: ab380a97-57e2-46a1-9f76-94b36af0da4a (antas)

Environment: fe698473-97cd-4bfd-9c7d-472e58eac8b5

Could you force-kill the stuck container so a new one can be created? Thanks.

The container stuck in stopping is on our side, not yours. It never finished

tearing down, so it is still holding the mount and new containers cannot be

scheduled, which is what you are seeing as the 502 and the hang at creating

containers. Further redeploys will not clear it. Your volume is healthy and

your data is intact. We are clearing the stuck container from our side and

will confirm here once your service can deploy again.
