Strange. I guess disabling and re-enabling autoscale didn’t make a difference?
flyctl autoscale disable
flyctl autoscale standard min=1 max=50
Alternatively, you can abandon autoscale and see if the usual scale works best for you (1, 2, 3)?
fly scale count 8 --max-per-region 1
Btw, per this post, it seems autoscale could never evenly distribute VMs (even if the docs say, otherwise)?
