Instance is in scheduling status, but the same machine is available for renting

Observed Behavior:

• The instance is in scheduling status

• However, the machine is still shown as Available for rent on the portal (Machine ID: 37485).

Explanation:

• When an instance is created, it is bound to a specific GPU ID. If the instance is stopped, it remains bound to the same GPU ID and waits for that GPU to become available again.
• On machines with more than 1 GPU, other GPUs may still be free and available for allocation. As a result, the same machine can still appear as available on the portal, even though the original instance is stuck in Scheduling while waiting for its assigned GPU.

Suggestion:

• We recommend using volume storage to persist data and enable access across multiple instances on the same host machine. If an instance gets stuck in Scheduling but other GPUs on the same host are available, you can create a new instance on that host and mount the same volume to continue working on it.
