Escaping pending-upgrade and Stuck States

Recovering a release wedged mid-operation.

When a Release Wedges

If an upgrade is interrupted, a release can get stuck in pending-upgrade and refuse every new operation. Do not panic. 🛑

Spotting the State

Run helm list and a stuck release shows a status like pending-upgrade or pending-install instead of the healthy deployed.

helm list --all --namespace web
