wei-wei-326: About to destroy sprite demo--force

Error: Failed to destroy sprite: failed to delete sprite

This is happening on a number of my sprites

I’m getting 500 errors and 10s timeouts on all of the Sprites API at the moment. Can’t list sprites for example. Seems generally to be down.

Hey, we put an incident up for this and managed to identify the problem and fix very shortly thereafter. Are you still seeing 500s?

Thank you. That’s fast. I was able to delete the sprite above. But I have at least one other sprite I’m still failing to delete. Not sure if your fix applied to previously created sprites.

sprite destroy --force -s test-integration-sprite-local                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       18:58:44

Ok that one is more novel - looks like the initial delete request timed out part way through so there’s some half-deleted/half-alive state. We’re looking into how to reconcile.
