Rebooting might help, but it could just freeze again.

Taking a snapshot could be useful, but I wonder if we should troubleshoot the current instance before doing that.

Deleting the machine seems drastic; I feel like we should try to gather more info first.

I think rebooting the machine might help, but I'm not sure if that's the best first step.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. What exactly does "available for Mass Update" mean? I'll need to make sure I understand that before I can answer.

This is a good question. The key is to weigh the reliability and security of the provider's API versus the control you have with your own SFTP server. I'll need to consider the tradeoffs.

I'm a bit confused about the benefits of "Process Affinity." Does setting it directly help with CPU spikes? I don't recall it addressing performance that well.

I think this might be a permission issue since the error mentions "403 Forbidden." That's usually a sign that access is restricted.
