Stuck environment patch blocking new bucket from provisioning

Hi, I have a stuck environment patch blocking a new bucket from provisioning.

Project: Iskon_book_store_project

Project ID: eef6974e-388c-4704-a900-0d2c0585bfda

Environment: production (id: 4b3461eb-bfa5-4af5-be81-7962d48675fe)

Stuck patch ID: 699eefb6-f50e-433d-9e05-84b55aca7b7d (status: APPLYING, created 2026-06-20, never resolves)

What happened: I tried creating a second volume on my iskcon_book_store service via the API, which failed because a service can only have one volume. That left an orphaned volume behind, which I deleted. But the environment patch that staged that failed volume attach is still stuck in APPLYING status, referencing the now-deleted volume — it's never going to complete on its own.

Since then, I created a Bucket (object storage) in the same project — name iskcon-ebooks, id af555b06-5d51-451b-b8bd-32c5712664f8 — but it has no working instance yet. Querying its S3 credentials returns "BucketInstance not found." I believe the stuck patch above is blocking it from provisioning, since environment changes seem to be serialized one-at-a-time.

Could you please:

Clear/cancel the stuck patch (699eefb6-f50e-433d-9e05-84b55aca7b7d) so it stops blocking the environment, and

Confirm the iskcon-ebooks bucket can now provision properly?

My live site (iskconbooks.in) has not been affected by any of this — I've verified deployments and volumes are all normal. Just need this one stuck record cleared. Thanks!

Confirmed. A stuck environment change from that failed second-volume attach is wedged in your production environment, and because changes apply one at a time, it's holding up the new iskcon-ebooks bucket from provisioning. We're clearing that stuck record on our side now.

Your live site, deployments, and existing volumes are all healthy and unaffected. Please hold off on making further environment changes in this project until we confirm it's cleared, so nothing else queues up behind it. We'll follow up here once the bucket can provision.

We found the cause. Your environment has a staged change set that is silently failing to apply: it's trying to attach a second volume to your iskcon_book_store service at /app/ebooks, but that service already has a volume mounted at /app/static/images/books. A service can only have one volume, so the change never applies and the pending banner never clears, which is also why the new volume can't provision.

We're clearing the stuck staged change for you now and will confirm once it's done. After that, you can attach the new volume to a service that doesn't already have one, or remove the existing volume first if you intend to replace it.

Done. We've cleared the stuck staged change on your production environment, so the pending banner should now be gone and the new volume/bucket can provision.

One thing to note for the retry: the change that was stuck tried to attach the new volume to your iskcon_book_store service, which already has a volume mounted at /app/static/images/books. A service can only have one volume, so please attach the new volume to a different service (one without an existing volume), or remove the current volume from iskcon_book_store first if you mean to replace it.

Give it a try and let us know if anything still looks off.

Thanks for clearing the stuck patch — confirmed on my end it's gone. However, the bucket still doesn't work: I created a brand new bucket from scratch (after your fix), and it still returns "BucketInstance not found" when I query its S3 credentials/instance details. So this looks like a separate issue from the stuck patch — buckets created via the public API don't seem to actually provision an instance. Could you check whether there's an additional provisioning step needed on your end for API-created buckets specifically? Bucket IDs to check: af555b06-5d51-451b-b8bd-32c5712664f8 (original) and e1af71e0-2b07-497e-9623-0f3247b9275f (fresh retry, same result). My live site and book images remain completely unaffected throughout.
