The machine is “inactive” yet everything works: a stuck vast controller

Vast Sale editorial, 11 min

The machine is listed in the catalog, verified, with clients running on it — yet the marketplace shows it as inactive and lets no new rentals in. No routine check finds the cause.

In a single day this cost us three incidents: idle rigs, broken rentals and a reliability drop. The nastiest part is that the link to the marketplace, the tunnel and the rig itself are all perfectly fine — so it is easy to burn several hours hunting for the cause.

Inside the paid version: the full mechanics of Vast.ai controller “sticking”, why standard diagnostics dead-end, a step-by-step manual fix, and a ready watchdog script that catches and fixes the sticking on its own in about 48 seconds — with the reasoning behind every threshold and a parameters table.
