Tried the lab, submitted, failed. I want to try again from scratch with my environment and all files reset, as though I had never touched them. I’m finding that the lab is stuck in some weird state where I can’t run the environment cleanup. Everything I do leads to the darn thing crashing. Any help is deeply appreciated.
EDIT: I was finally able to run “terraform destroy” successfully, but now I’m running into this error when I try to start over and grant access to users in Section 2. So it looks like I accidentally deleted more than intended! So again, I think a hard reset of everything (including the Amazon environment) is probably what I need.
Perhaps filling out this form, might help this matter!

The AWS environment resets when your lab’s time limit expires. It won’t store any of the data or work you did.
For the code, there is an update lab button on the right side of your screen. You can save your files in a different folder, click Update Lab, and a new copy of the assignment will be created.
Please let me know if this helps.

This ended up working, thank you @pastorsoto !
Waiting a few hours solved the configuration or resource issues I was running into after re-attempting the failed lab. I then had to revisit my code and make sure all blocks intended to be “commented out” for the first few exercises were indeed commented, to prevent “undefined reference” errors. With that done, I was able to rerun all of my code, resubmit the lab, and got 100%.
For what it’s worth, I’m a data analyst in my day job, and “it’s probably a platform glitch, wait a couple of hours” is one of the most realistic lessons a lab can teach IME! 
Thank you again for your help!!
