Have there been any recent changes to Apify’s internal code? None of my builds are working now they all fail with: ACTOR: Error: Docker image build failed: NotFound: content digest sha256:59e226678…

I’m 99% sure this issue is on Apify’s side. It seems like:
• The image is built correctly (verified in the logs)
• The failure happens only at the push step
• The digest being used is either stale, misreferenced, or internally corrupted
Could there be a problem with:
• Apify’s internal Docker registry or CDN?
• Digest caching/mapping in your build system?
• Synchronization with Amazon ECR (if that’s what you use)?
Are you using the same dotnet container images in your Dockerfile, as I referenced in my threads above? I unblocked my builds by switching to a different image
No matter which language I use even a simple Hello World actor in Python or other languages I keep getting the same error when pushing to Apify:
ACTOR: Error: Docker image build failed: NotFound: content digest sha256:59e226... not found.
It happens with all builds, even when using different base images like Rust, Python, etc. It seems like an internal issue with Apify’s Docker image caching or registry.

@Lukas Krivka Hey, help me out man I’ve been dealing with this error for several days now. I’ve already tried using the clean build option from the UI, created a new actor, and even changed the base image. None of that worked. The issue clearly seems to be on your registry side.
I will report it, it is really weird that we didn't hear this from anyone else, maybe you have some specific setup that got corrupted
send me yout build ID pls
Everything was working fine 2 or 3 days ago, but now any actor I create and try to upload breaks — it doesn’t matter if it’s Python, Rust, JavaScript, or anything else.
@Lukas Krivka Look, I made this video using an actor that only prints “Hello World” and even that doesn’t work! I did it this way on purpose, just to show that the issue isn’t on my side, but with the platform itself.
@aciku just advanced to level 5! Thanks for your contributions! 🎉
I noticed something strange all the builds are failing with the same SHA, even though they’re completely different actors and builds:

Yes, I noticed that for my failed builds too.
It only works for me with this base image: apify/actor-node-basic. None of these work: node:18-slim, debian:bookworm-slim, python:3.11-slim, etc.
It looks like I found the problem all images based on Debian (debian:bookworm-slim) are failing! That includes:
Can you send me a build ID pls? I tried to look at your account but don't see failed builds there
So the team is already working on this
