  • Server is stopped every Friday and started on Monday — has worked fine for weeks
  • Nothing changed on our side (config, automation, parameters)
  • This Monday: stuck in Starting for over an hour
    • CLI stop also fails with SeverBusyWithOtherOperation (same as start)
      • Weekly start automation is suspended to avoid further conflicts
  • Looks like a stuck backend/control-plane operation?, not a config issue

**
Request:** Please investigate and escalate to a support case if needed.

Happy to share CLI output, activity log timestamps, or anything else — let me know what you need!
