"scheduling build on Metal builder " can't deploy

If anyone can help:

My deployments are stuck at:

"scheduling build on Metal builder "

and never progress beyond that. No further build logs appear, so the build does not actually start.

Context:

  • This is happening consistently across multiple deploy attempts
  • I have already confirmed previous failures were due to Next.js build memory, so I enabled Metal builder intentionally
  • Now the build does not start at all, so I cannot test any fixes

Hey, I checked your latest failed deployment (2bb90c40) and the build actually did start and run — it's not stuck on scheduling. Your Next.js build compiled successfully in 5.2 minutes and generated all static pages, but then it timed out during the "Collecting build traces" phase. This is a Next.js build step that can hang on large projects.

To fix this, you can disable build tracing by adding this to your next.config.js:

outputFileTracingExcludes: {
  '*': ['**/@swc/core*', '**/@esbuild*', '**/playwright*'],
},

Or set the environment variable NEXT_PRIVATE_TRACE_TIMEOUT=60 to limit the trace collection time.

Your previous deployment (d6a0c99c at 08:34) actually succeeded, so your service should be running on that one right now.
