Actions Runner

Discussion Details

I'm experiencing a stuck GitHub Actions workflow run that appears to have an inconsistent backend state.

• Run ID: 38238112095
• Workflow: Gundam Vault - Daily Priority Pricing Ingestion
• Workflow ID: 362710278
• Created: 12 October 2026, 10:43:29 UTC
• Repository: Private; details available to GitHub staff on request.

The REST API continues to report status: queued, conclusion: null, with the original updated_at timestamp and zero jobs.

Both of these commands fail with Cannot cancel a workflow run that is completed:

gh run cancel 38238112095 --repo CloudDreamer31/LaplacesBox

gh run cancel 38238112095 --repo CloudDreamer31/LaplacesBox --force

The daily and weekly pricing workflows are disabled while I investigate. This run references an older worker commit, so I need to ensure it cannot unexpectedly execute.

Could GitHub Actions support investigate the inconsistent run state and either safely terminate the run or reconcile its status?

I can provide the full run URL, API responses and any additional diagnostics required.
