Deployment Method

Helm

Checks

[X] This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions).
[X] I've read the Changelog before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes

To Reproduce

Not sure but a guess:
1. Deploy a scale set controller
1. Deploy a scale set
1. Trigger some jobs
1. The jobs fail
1. ??? Not sure ???

Describe the bug

The controller thinks that the runners are in state failed forever and thus won't scale the scale set up anymore. In reality the runners have been deleted and no longer exist. In the controller log we see: "name":"berkeley-gpu-runners-pltxc-runner-s4b7j","namespace":"gh-actions-runner-scale-sets"

But:

❯ kubectl get pod berkeley-gpu-runners-pltxc-runner-s4b7j -n gh-actions-runner-scale-sets
Error from server (NotFound): pods "berkeley-gpu-runners-pltxc-runner-s4b7j" not found

Describe the expected behavior

The controller pod notices that the runner pods no longer exist and reacts appropriately.

Oh I did find a resource of type ephemeralrunner.actions.github.com and that shows that the issues is "Pod has failed to tart more than 5 times". So I guess maybe I'll close this and vote for https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller/issues/2721
