Hi Nosa Ahanor,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for posting your query here.

Waiting: The container is waiting to run. This state indicates either init containers are still running, or the container is backing off due to a crash loop.
Could you please Retrieve container logs and events, follow the steps from these: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-get-logs

As you have mentioned, you have restarted, stopped and started and redeployed nothing is working. Meanwhile, I can suggest you with some basic troubleshooting steps:

• ACR Access: Ensure that your container can pull the image from ACR (authentication, permissions).If the image is stored in a private registry, you must ensure that your ACI has access to pull the image.
• If the container is not allocated enough resources, it might fail to start and stay in the waiting state. Check your container’s memory and CPU allocation. Make sure that your container has sufficient CPU and memory resources.
• Try running a simpler container (e.g., nginx) in ACI to see if it starts correctly. If this works, the issue is specific to your container image.
• Can you please try to deploy your container in a different region?
• Azure Service Health will provide updates on outages or other issues that might be affecting container services.https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

Hope this helps!
