Instinct beta agent bricked for 24+ hours, ignoring all abort and reset commands
Pale-Luck-163 · reddit · 2026-09-22
A user in the Instinct private beta reports their agent has been completely unresponsive for over 24 hours. Abort commands sent via iMessage (CANCEL ALL, /restart, ABORT, CLEAR CONTEXT) were marked read but ignored, and even wiping context via the Data Privacy 'Delete' function failed to revive it. The post highlights the lack of a reliable external kill switch for always-on personal agents.
