remote builder app unavailable

Fly has been working perfectly up until yesterday.
Been trying to fly deploy intermittently for 2 days now.
Gets up to and then stuck on Waiting for remote builder fly-builder-ancient-waterfall-3355... 🌎 for a few minutes.
Then get a:
WARN Remote builder did not start in time. Check remote builder logs with flyctl logs -a fly-builder-ancient-waterfall-3355``
WARN Failed to start remote builder heartbeat: remote builder app unavailable
After about 3 minutes it ends on Error: failed to fetch an image or build from source: error connecting to docker: remote builder app unavailable

fly doctor shows no immediate issues:
image

flyctl logs -a fly-builder-ancient-waterfall-3355 shows a random but graceful exit code 0, not restarting

In the LHR region. There are no issues or status updates on Sign In Β· Fly or status.flyio.net

Hey! I’m not sure what’s going on there exactly - I see the latest logs there are from Feb 12- have you tried deploying today?

One other thing you can try is destroying your builder machine (fly apps rm <builder app>) - a new one will replace it on your next deploy.

huh weird, destroying the builder and creating a new one seemed to work and fixes it.

Thanks!
