when i query the status of my durable functions, I have recently had several get stuck with pending status. yesterday i observed that sometimes they work normally, other times they are getting stuck.
I have only just noticed this behavior yesterday. but admittedly this was the first time i took a close look at these systems in weeks. Any idea what could cause this? was there a recent bugged update behind the scenes?
Also, as there are 2 distinct states pending and running, I assume that this rules out my code, as a pending state indicates it is not even running yet. Also my code is working normally when it is actually run by the system.
Attn Microsoft people, I have an example that i can share with you (upon request), which was started yesterday at 2023-08-22T08:27:45Z and is still pending.
I restarted my feeder, console app, this morning as it was stuck pending all night. So far I have been running the durable functions for 30 mins or so this morning and so far I have not encountered the issue again.

OK, I can now confirm that the problem is still happening this morning.
I just published an unrelated update to the source code, which has resulted in my example being set to complete.
