Perpetual "Your event is processing..."

I’ve got the same problem. After renaming my hostname, my droplet went into “event processing” mode. I could not any longer get into the server via Virtualmin Pro, it timed out. I could not get in via Putty either, it asked for the username and then timed out as well. However, I could get in via the Digital Ocean console, change the hostname back and reboot. That made no difference though. The droplet stayed in “event processing” mode. I then powered it off, expecting to be able to turn it back on again. However, that didn’t work out that way. It’s remained in “even processing”. I cannot switch it back on. I have posted a ticket with the helpdesk on this one but haven’t heard back as yet.

When I try to power off my droplet or perform any action on it via the API, I receive the following error: <br> <br>{ <br>status: “ERROR”, <br>error_message: “Droplet There is already a pending event for the droplet”, <br>message: “Droplet There is already a pending event for the droplet” <br>}

I snooped around the HTML of the page and found the event ID. Querying the API, I get the following response: <br> <br>{ <br>status: “OK”, <br>event: { <br>action_status: “done”, <br>droplet_id: 1164874, <br>event_type_id: 20, <br>id: 16592923, <br>percentage: “100” <br>} <br>} <br> <br>Why am I still stuck?!
