Likely root cause

Likely a long-running report query pinning a single VM. Similar to inc-892 (last month) — a report export against a clinic whose patient dataset grew 12x.

Recommended actions

  1. Identify the clinic currently hitting /api/reports on prod-3 (likely one of the larger sites).
  2. Trigger VMSS scale-out manually — auto-scale threshold not yet met.
  3. Add per-clinic concurrency limit on the report export path.
  4. Consider offloading long-running exports to a background worker.
