Hello,
Your instance &amp;#x27;REDACTED&amp;#x27; is running on a hypervisor that encountered a critical failure. We are not able to power on the hypervisor again. We were not able to recover your local files located on your LSSD.
Your node has been stopped. If you created snapshots of the server&amp;#x27;s volumes or if you halted your node recently, you will recover your volumes at their latest good state.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I left them due to the price getting out of hand.</text></comment>
