I'm pretty sure I'm not resource constrained anywhere. I tried creating a second follow backfill, but that one just reports a progress of 0/0.

Both. In the server logs, I can see the message indicating backfill start, as well as the backfill status requests and a warning from happyview::admin::backfill about a tombstoned did:plc. That last bit seems to suggest that the backfill is running, though that's the only evidence of such.

Hmm… v peculiar. I’ll try to run my own backfill on that collection and see what I find. What version are you in? You can check easily on the About page (bottom sidebar, above logout).

Okay, I'm doing some work on the backfill right now. I'd eager that either your backfill failed silently, or it's still running but it is failing to report progress. It turns out that backfills are orphaned if you restart the server right now, and they never resume.

So I'm adding a few things: - proper backfill resume - better, more frequent reporting - add PLC and per-PDS rate limit handling (whoops) This won't speed up the backfill, but it will make it more reliable and understandable. Should be able to release tomorrow.
