I’m having an issue with a specific sprite with 100+ checkpoints, I can’t console into it or checkpoint restore. Part of the debug below -
time=2026-06-16T09:58:19.785+01:00 level=DEBUG msg=“sprites: control disabled by client option” sprite=cerebrawl
time=2026-06-16T09:58:19.785+01:00 level=DEBUG msg=“Checkpoint list request” sprite=cerebrawl includeAuto=false

that comment was over 2 months ago, and even if it was relevant then, it’s likely not relevant now. @halfer you likely know this better than me: sprites is undergoing some changes on the storage layer.
i would say, the amount of snapshots is unlikely to be the problem, and i am inclined to bet this is going to be the cause of zombie 
sessions.
@cerebration try this: sprite console list — if you se more than what you expect, terminate the older ones, or all of them. then try getting a new console.
have you seen the sprites dashboard lately?
now, there is an actions column with a Restart button, maybe use this to get back into your sprite.
