Hey guys, my celery worker stopped receiving tasks 2 days ago and we hadn't noticed, we are unsure on what happened as there's no errors and when I send a task it responds with an ID:


celery = Celery('flask_app', broker=os.environ['REDIS_URL'])

result = celery.send_task(
    'tasks.log_order_change_task',
    args=('g.tenant_host', "shipment", '', '', f'Marked shipment as shipped.', '')

returns: c40330f4-f441-4ca7-ba07-6737da9b2a96
)```

#

Not too sure if it's an application error because it's always worked and we haven't changed anything related to this celery worker. Our other celery worker using another redis is working fine

#

Alright i just restarted the worker and all of the backlogged tasks from 2 days ago till today just came through

#

I pressed restart, not redeploy

Pretty sure that's not a Railway issue, perhaps your worker got stuck while processing a task. Still, do you have any other issues? I will be closing this thread.
