- your program is leaking EC2 instances.-
@ayy @angristan I had it happen to something I wrote, lol. I would launch an EC2 instance, wait for it to become available to tag it. Sometimes the API lies and the instance isn't really available yet (eventual consistency) and trying to tag the instance failed. The system managed resources using tags, and you can't actually search for instances that don't have tags, so a bunch of them just hung out for about a year doing nothing before I did a proactive check to see if there were untagged resources.
