Slow draining old versions

Getting Started
1

First of all, love the platform is such a great experience to launch an agent here

One thing that it’s a bit frustrating when deploying a new version of the agent is that I don’t fully understand why when a new version of an agent is deployed the draining process of the former version takes a lot of time.

Usuallly could be around one hour and though the draining state tag in cloud livekit helps understanding the state of version rollout, it gets a bit frustrating, specially if you’re fixing an issue in production having this feedback loop length is inconvenient.

Btw, I’m not handling lots of calls (~6 calls an hour)

Happy to help with more details,
Thanks

If your agents are in the draining state consistently for an hour, it sounds like they are not exiting cleanly for whatever reason, since 1 hour is the upper bound.
