Infinitely "Spinning up a new sandbox"

Just an FYI The API console in my campaign is currently 'spinning up a new sandbox' every 5 seconds. I am sure that it will sort itself out. The same thing happened last night. Are the developers currently messing around with things or is it a glitch in my campaign? I am on the main server.
That happened to me on the Dev server a couple days ago.

Is it causing problems beyond log window spam?
It prevented me from using any scripts.
It prevented the scripts from running on mine also. It lasted approximately 10 minutes.
Bump! All my campaigns, both live and dev, are experiencing this issue. No APIs able to run.

Ive been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my script which was previously working, stopped working. Well, this totally ruins my saturday game set to start in 6 hours.
I just checked my test Campaign and it seems to be working fine. However it looks like the API server reset itself about an hour ago...are you all still experiencing this issue?
It only lasted for roughly 10 minutes for me Riley.. and that was roughly 12 hours ago.

Also, to help me figure out this issue in the future (assuming it is now working properly): 1) When you say it was infinitely doing that, it only said "Spinning up new sandbox" (nothing about "Inifinte loop detected" or anything like that), and it kept repeating that message over and over again on a new line without you doing anything? Or you mean it just said that once but then never actually started up? 2) Also, had you recently had the "infinite loop detected error" in the last 12 hours or so, and/or have you had your campaign open and running on someone's computer for more than 24 hours straight? Just trying to figure out the root cause here. As far as I can tell this is different than the bug which affected Jaret before which was an infinite loop repeating message (so similar symptom, but the root cause would be different), but I need more info to clarify. Thanks!
Callum M. said: It only lasted for roughly 10 minutes for me Riley.. and that was roughly 12 hours ago. Great, thanks...can you answer those other questions above as well? Thanks! And just to confirm, King and Michael, you were experiencing this *exact* same thing ("Spinning up sandbox repeating over and over"), or were your scripts just not running with different symptoms?
1) All mine said was... "Spinning up new sandbox" repeatedly at 5 second intervals. 2) No. I tried saving a script and I also tried disabling all of my scripts but it kept repeatedly "spinning up a new sandbox" for roughly 10 minutes. After which it fixed itself up.
I will add that I have been spending a lot of time on my campaign but not leaving it open for more than 12 hours...
I was getting the spinning up new sandbox every 5 seconds as well. Before this time, all of my script was working, then during the spinning issue, none of the script would work. Now it seems to be abated, but only portions of my script are working... I didn't change any portion of the script, but the only thing not working now is my damage roll result are not apply to the bar3_value again (but it was previously) I have since deleted the script and begun to break it up over several scripts to debug each portion before combining them again into the complete auto resolve script. I think maybe the script data got corrupt some how. I will report back when I finish debugging.
My scripts are intact and running fine but I stopped doing any work on them while it was in the infinite spiral of 'spinning up a new sandbox'.
After doing some testing... I figured out I made a typo... everything is back to normal, which means the script works except the part Ive been trying to figure out for the past 2 hours now.

Callum describes my experience well, albeit at a more recent time (when I posted a reply to this thread), with one hour of normal functionality proceeding until the next episode.
My API console just started doing it again right now Riley. 'Spinning up a new sandbox' repeatedly at 5 second intervals.
I'm seeing this now too. Hopefully it's just in the middle of another reboot?
Is everyone including Callum on the Main server or are any of your on Dev? And it does look like it reset itself 34 minutes ago...so I assume this is fixed again. But I'd sure like to know what's causing it.
Okay, I found the root cause, shouldn't happen again (hopefully). Let me know if it does.
