Issue: Week 2 lab 2 - Start Lab action stuck for over 20 minutes

After the issue Issue: Lab shown as temporarily locked got fixed, I tried the Week 2 Lab2. After pressing “Start Lab”, I see the spinner for over 20 minutes now (still spinning as I write this). The AWS link on top left of the page still has a “yellow disc”.

It might take more than 20mins to restart!

I’ve heard students report it can take over 20 minutes.
