outside the persistent filesystem is wiped

TL;DR

Fix this in deletion propagation to search by doing this first: delete the subject documents from the search index and purge the cached copies, force an index refresh, and verify by searching for the erased profile identifiers and getting no results. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

search index still returns erased profile

Use this when

• The operation fails with this exact problem: search index still returns erased profile.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An audit, review, or request is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a platform outage notice or a general sign-in failure. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in deletion propagation to search, and copy the full message plus the item, account, or request involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in an old log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: delete the subject documents from the search index and purge the cached copies, force an index refresh, and verify by searching for the erased profile identifiers and getting no results. Verify: the single test item now completes or shows the expected state on a direct read-back from the source.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same connection, mapping, owner, or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions, or statuses against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign-off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input, and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied, and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Deletion removed the source record but the index and its cache keep serving the indexed copy until an explicit removal or refresh, so the erased profile stays publicly findable.

Variant phrasings

deletion propagation error search index still returns erased profile failure cache

The verbatim form searchers paste from the console or ticket. Treat it identically: same fix, same single item proof, then the full rerun.

How to fix this failure in practice

The how-to phrasing for the same failure. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Troubleshooting the symptom-first form

The phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: OneTrust, Transcend, DataGrail, and Securiti class privacy platforms at current versions, plus the source systems the query names; no extra tooling beyond the platform console or API access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Keep data transfer in the same region as the filesystem to avoid slow transfers. Billing stops only when you terminate the instance, and the instance home directory is wiped on terminate.

Fix

1. Keep data transfer in the same region as the filesystem to avoid slow transfers. Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

When to use

• You are setting up or using this Lambda GPU cloud feature.
• The symptom matches: anything outside the persistent filesystem is wiped.

When NOT to use

• Unrelated Lambda GPU cloud issues (different feature, different failure).
• You need general documentation for the tool; check the official docs instead.

Compatibility

Reported against Lambda GPU cloud. Source: https://github.com/majiayu000/hermes-agent/blob/HEAD/optional-skills/mlops/lambda-labs/SKILL.md.

Variant phrasings

anything outside the persistent filesystem is wiped

Why it happens

Terminating a Lambda instance deletes the local disk. Checkpoints must live on the filesystem.

Edge cases

• If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
• If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.

Source: Terminating a Lambda instance deletes the local disk. Checkpoints must live on the filesystem.

Verified resolution: [lambda-labs skill]: billing stops only when you terminate the instance, and the instance home directory is wiped on terminate. Write checkpoints, datasets, and model outputs to the persistent filesystem (mounted under the lambda NFS path) or they are gone. There is no auto-stop: an idle instance bills until you terminate it. Keep data transfer in the same region as the filesystem to avoid slow transfers.

TL;DR

Never store user data on disk; use Render Postgres or external storage instead. These limits are per service compute plan, upgrading the workspace plan does not remove them. On Render's free tier, design for two facts: your service WILL sleep after 15 idle minutes (first request after wakes it with ~1 minute of loading page), and anything written to the local filesystem WILL be lost (uploads, SQLite files).

Fix

1. Never store user data on disk; use Render Postgres or external storage instead. Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

15-minute spin-down and an ephemeral filesystem

Why it happens

Official docs (Deploy for Free): documents Free web service limits that bite agents: the service spins down after 15 minutes with no inbound traffic and takes about a minute to spin back up (loading page shown meanwhile). The filesystem is ephemeral: uploads, local SQLite files, anything written at runtime is lost on redeploy, restart, or spin-down. Free web services cannot attach persistent disks. You get 750 free instance hours per month per workspace; exceed them and all free web services are suspended until next month.

Edge cases

• If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
• If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.

Never store user data on disk; use Render Postgres or external storage instead. Keep-alive pings burn your 750 monthly free hours faster, so use them deliberately. If everything suddenly stops at month end, you likely exhausted the free hours and services are suspended until the reset.
