What normally takes less than 3 minutes has been running over 3 hours. I cannot reboot my machine using the On/Off toggle on the DigitalOcean console (it’s disabled), I can’t open a terminal session from the DigitalOcean console (it keeps timing out), I can’t shutdown using a direct SSH session (any commands other than directory traversal timeout).
I’m assuming that if the snapshot wasn’t running the “pending action” that’s preventing me from rebooting using the On/Off toggle wouldn’t be an issue.
The net effect of this is that my server is unavailable and unusable because of a runaway Apache process that I cannot kill by any means available to me.
Also, I logged a support ticket about 3 hours ago. No response yet.

Hey @chrissawicki,
In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.
Do you have a ticket number from when you contacted our support team so that I can get this followed up for you?
If you do not have a ticket yet, please reach out to our amazing support team who will be more than happy to assist you with your account issue! :)
Hope that helps!
- Bobby.
