Lost my sprite?🥤

1

I seem to have gotten one of my sprites in an unbootable spot, and can’t console in anymore (other sprites still work).

The sprite name is spec-table. Is there any way to recover, or export the latest code/data off of it?

I had left a console window running with ClaudeCode open, in-between sessions, and saw this message:

...
─────────────────────────
  ⏵⏵ bypass permissions on (shift+Tab to cycle)



[Session ended]

Uncertain if above is related.

Tried to reboot local machine. Did sprite upgrade (v0.0.1-rc31) for the cli too.

Then on an attempt to do checkpoint restore, I get a 503:

$ sprite checkpoint list -s spec-table -include-auto

$ sprite checkpoint -s spec-table restore auto-1769497113237

Error: Failed to restore checkpoint: API returned status 503: Service temporarily unavailable during restore

The attempt to console right now, responds with:

$ sprite console -s spec-table
Error: failed to start sprite command: failed to connect: read tcp [$MY_IPv6_IP]:50110->[2a09:8280:1::99:d7b3:0]:443: i/o timeout

Any options or tips to recover the files from it?

Same thing happened to me, I ended up paying the $29/month for support who ‘gave it a nudged’ and fixed it. Super frustrating as it wasn’t anything I did and I spent hours trying to gain access to console, restore checkpoint etc but nothing worked. They are working on making them more stable.

If only there was a give-it-a-nudge arg sprite api call to do it self-serve

Yeah I have several sprites in an odd state right now (cannot connect to them via cli), hopefully gets better with time
