Exporting AMI from EC2 to S3 bucket, stuck at 85%

Question

Hi All ,

I have been trying to export the AMI to S3 bucket, but it seems like it got stuck at 85, I have been waited for more than 24 hours now, the AMI is about 1TB.  Do you guys experience this before and what's the solution on this?  Thank you for your help.

aws ec2 describe-export-image-tasks --export-image-task-ids export-ami-0d42064ea9dacc66e
{
    "ExportImageTasks": [
        {
            "ExportImageTaskId": "export-ami-0d42064ea9dacc66e",
            "Progress": "85",
            "S3ExportLocation": {
                "S3Bucket": "export-bucket-vicalia-20240625",
                "S3Prefix": "exports/"
            },
            "Status": "active",
            "StatusMessage": "converting",
            "Tags": []
        }
    ]
}"

Hi There

Please take a look at the considerations for exporting AMIs here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/limits-image-export.html

Is this an AMI that originated from the AWS Marketplace, or are there encrypted EBS Snapshots/  Both of those things would cause issues.
