ACA Container failed despite Exit Code 0?

Question

Hi, I'm using Azure Container Apps, just testing one-time running containers. While they work and the output in the logs is as expected, ACA keeps restarting the container and shows it as "Running (at max)" before moving it to "Failed" despite every container run ending with an exit code of 0 (indicating successful completition of the task) I have ingress and all health probes disabled. Scale is 0-1

Azure Container Apps are for running containers that don’t exit. It will restart your container if it exits for any reason. For run-to-completion scenarios where the container exits when it finishes its work, you can use the jobs feature in Azure Container Apps.
