Troubleshooting Increased Fargate Spot interruptions in ap-south-1 (Mumbai) — anyone else?

Over the past week or so my Fargate Spot tasks are getting interrupted way more often in ap-south-1 than they used to. It was rare before, now it's near-constant. Nothing on the public status page and nothing in my personal Health Dashboard.

Is anyone else running Fargate in Mumbai seeing this right now, or is it just my account/AZ? Mainly trying to figure out if it's a transient capacity crunch or the new normal.

I stopped using spots because the reclamation was too high in us-east-1. It was nice, but sometimes we kept a spot for only 4 to 6 minutes during the morning East Coast time. When Europe and the East Coast are both pounding on AWS.

I was using autoscaler to get spots for EKS in all US-East availability zones. Not just 3. Using a variety of instance types as well to make the bid process easier.

Some days, there would be 500 or 5,000 bids during peak hours. Insane
