"Container is not enabled for this durable object class" is likely an accurate error - what's your Wrangler config?

N

nicoritschel•10/22/25, 2:45 PM

I seem to have inconsistency in the state of my container. If I click that instance marked stopped it seems nothing is running as per metrics. I expect that something is running currently as it was triggered from a workflow.

N

nicoritschel•10/22/25, 2:46 PM

The meter also shows 1 live instance; maybe it's not booting?

N

nicoritschel•10/22/25, 2:51 PM

Ah was just intermittent, redeploying cycled it

K

kian•10/22/25, 2:54 PM

There's a little bug we're currently fixing where live instances represents your Durable Object that has access to the Container being active even if your Container itself isn't (i.e DOs hang around for 30s after their last request or you were doing non-Containers API calls)

K

kian•10/22/25, 2:54 PM

That's just a dash / health reporting UI quirk, your Container shouldn't be running & we're not billing you for it.

T

Thibault•10/22/25, 9:03 PM

What would be the best way to keep a container up and running 24/7 ?

N

nicoritschel•10/22/25, 10:13 PM

You could probably use an alarm on the attached durable object and keep waking it

There is no container instance that can be provided to this Durable Object, try again later - we are also getting this error a lot I am adding the config below.

image = "./Dockerfile"
max_instances = 25
instance_type = "standard-4"

image = "./Dockerfile"
max_instances = 25
instance_type = "standard-4"

image = "./Dockerfile"
max_instances = 25
instance_type = "standard-4"

image = "./Dockerfile"
max_instances = 25
instance_type = "standard-4"

Could you hint us that where are we going wrong for these two places?

From my understanding cloudflare uses alarm to validate/keep your container up.

Yes, it says
There is no container instance that can be provided to this Durable Object, try again later

and when I try to increase instances in wrangler.toml myself it says

SURPASSED_TOTAL_LIMITS
reason This application requires more than the allocated quota of vcpus in
this account to run all its requested instances of count 40.
used_vcpu 0
remaining_vcpu 100

Decrease max instances to stay under the vcpu limit. These limits will be increased over time as the platform matures and kinks are worked out

Like if it randomly routes to container # 25 does it assume that 1-24 are already consumed or something?

Hi. I have been tricked by an ad/review on the website www.theresanaiforthat.com into purchasing a year subscription of www.v93ai . The former Site advertised this A I Tool specifically as an "Illegal" Video Generator , meaning basically that it was promoted as an Agent which can be used to generate Adult or Explicit Content. For $82.00 I discovered instantly that it did not! I've emailed the company outlining my dissatisfaction but
it hasn't got through, it just returned to my email. So I'm here asking you, what is my next step & how do I go about getting a refund from these people? I'd appreciate some advice.
Many thanks.

since ~2200-0000UTC last night, still ongoing, we've started seeing a whole bunch of CF internal errors thrown by our containers when trying to communicate with DOs

e.g.

internal error; reference = 0sp6nv1fqj06ub0q9b0qbfjq

internal error; reference = 0sp6nv1fqj06ub0q9b0qbfjq

internal error; reference = 0sp6nv1fqj06ub0q9b0qbfjq

any ideas? :sweat_heh:

Yes & no - your DO doesn’t necessarily have to be around but currently does influence the lifetime of your Container, I.E sleepAfter in the Containers library starts after DO inactivity

We’re working on moving lifecycles to more Containers APIs so the DO doesn’t have to be around to do any of that though

Either way we’re looking at reducing or entirely removing the DO wall-time billing when using Containers: containers-beta

Are containers billed off of the maximum allocated resources of the instance type, or the actual used resources of the container? i.e. if I have a standard-4 instance, will I always be billed for 12 GiB of memory and 20GB of storage, or just the memory and storage the application is using

The allocated resources of the instance type, not dependent on what the application actually uses within the container, the only variability is the egress your application uses.
