Failed to start remote builder heartbeat: server returned a non-200 status code: 500

This happens to me as well. I destroyed my builder, a new one got created, which seems to be way slower and leads to this “personal” error:

I hope retrying will work for me as well. Have you continued to run ‘fly deploy’ until it worked, or have you done something else extra?

I noticed this was an issue for people around a year ago as well: Error: failed to fetch an image or build from source
