Hi.
MySql Flexible server is stuck in an updating state for over an hour. i have tried to stop and restart via Azure CLI and still not successful. any suggestions?
Thank you for reporting this issue.
Could you please send an email to azcommunity@microsoft.com with your subscription ID, database name, server name and location.
Please mention in the subject Line ATTN: Oury so I don't miss it.
Please let me know once it is done.
Regards,
Oury
Thank you for confirming issue is now working by deleting the MySql flexible server service and creating a new service.
This is sometimes an intermittent issue or a portal issue. You just need to wait or recreate a new one after sometimes.

We have a rarely used DB that I had to touch today and saw the same thing 'server is currently in updating state'.
This DB hasn't been touched in 8 months and it isn't very large.
A peer suggest we run this
select current_timestamp-query_start, * from pg_stat_activity where state='active' order by 1 desc
It yielded:
If I am interpreting correctly, it looks like a replication has been running for 11 days.
Interestingly, that would put it at about the same date as the initial post (Aug 10)
@Steven R Thank you for reaching out.
Our team have identified an issue and prepared the fix, which will be rollout in the next release (ETA: this week.).
To avoid the issue, our recommendation would be to avoid stop/start/restart or scaling up or down the MySQL Flexible Server for one-week until Aug 28th as we rollout the fix in all Azure regions.

Oury
