oh just got a little worried as I see a lot of alarm error in my dashboard

But I cant still get my head around the container instance. Is there now way to increase containers? I have already givem the maximum thats available is my understanding wrong somewhere?

This is what i'm trying

  const container = getContainer(env.MY_CONTAINER);
      const containerState = await container.getState();
      if (containerState.status === "stopped") {
        await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          startOptions: {
            envVars: {
              OPENSTATUS_KEY: env.OPENSTATUS_KEY,
            },
          },
        });
      } else {
        await container.renewActivityTimeout();
      }

  const container = getContainer(env.MY_CONTAINER);
      const containerState = await container.getState();
      if (containerState.status === "stopped") {
        await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          startOptions: {
            envVars: {
              OPENSTATUS_KEY: env.OPENSTATUS_KEY,
            },
          },
        });
      } else {
        await container.renewActivityTimeout();
      }

  const container = getContainer(env.MY_CONTAINER);
      const containerState = await container.getState();
      if (containerState.status === "stopped") {
        await container.startAndWaitForPorts({
          startOptions: {
            envVars: {
              OPENSTATUS_KEY: env.OPENSTATUS_KEY,
            },
          },
        });
      } else {
        await container.renewActivityTimeout();
      }

  const container = getContainer(env.MY_CONTAINER);
      const containerState = await container.getState();
      if (containerState.status === "stopped") {
        await container.startAndWaitForPorts({

          },
        });
      } else {
        await container.renewActivityTimeout();
      }

But there's some error in the worker and wall time is blocked

fare•10/24/25, 4:46 AM

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
requested_vcpu 160

Yes, but how do I get more instances I just need them.

Our prod isn't scaling an it has become an issue

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 4:49 AM

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

F

fare•10/24/25, 4:52 AM

this message doesnt show up in production, it shows when i try to deploy the wrangler.toml with more instances
the reason why I am increasing it because we are getting this error

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

Change

getRandom(env.API, 25)

getRandom(env.API, 25)

getRandom(env.API, 25) to a more reasonable value

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 4:59 AM

You obviously don't have 25 instances available

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 5:00 AM

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

11984 Ford Laser You obviously don't have 25 instances available

It randomly picks one of 25 instances. That is how getRandom works

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.

The Agent is called v03ai.

niall•10/24/25, 1:49 PM

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

internal error; reference = 0sp6nv1fqj06ub0q9b0qbfjq

any ideas? :sweat_heh:

Lulu•10/25/25, 7:40 AM

Since DOs are billed separately, I was curious: Is the durable object tied to the container always running as long as the container is? i.e. unable to hibernate and continuously charged

kian•10/25/25, 1:28 PM

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

K

kian•10/25/25, 1:29 PM

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

K

kian•10/25/25, 1:29 PM

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

pandalambda2•10/27/25, 1:15 AM

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.

Has anyone tested the performance of ffmpeg/video encoding on Containers, especially with the newer instance types? Have some use cases I could move off EC2 if this worked well (GPU access would be sick too, but I imagine this isn't on the short-medium term timeline)

Hassan•10/27/25, 7:14 AM

Did anyone tried hosting game servers on containers? Would be a good use for my business, If containers can be hosted on all edge networks in cloudflare then i would have to pay significantly less for bandwidth on containers than dealing with hosting resellers. The games i host would have 60gb+ images, Not sure if i can host that large container that can spin up fast and are there charges for hosting that large image?

I don't want to sleep, because this is a one time job, it's ephemeral, so I literally want it deleted after use.
Currently researching if there is an event I can capture to run a delete workflow - or something like that.
