Hey Justin, Danny from DO here :-). can you open a ticket by and make sure you add "funwithjustin" in the email, we want to make sure you're having fun and not buzzkilled.

@ghshephard @riffic @tyingq Your feedback is really important to us, we internalize it and make sure it is heard loud and clear with our Product leads. Totally appreciate the feedback.

Yup - I've had the same experience with Digital Ocean through their web interface - though feels closer to 20% for me. It always seems to work the second time I try and create a droplet though, so it's never really bothered me - though I did find it rather ... odd? One would think that creating new droplets by now would be absolutely foolproof.

Have you contacted DO support? You may want to dig deeper into finding a root cause for this.

Wow...is that a common experience, or unique to your account? Sounds terrible, I'm surprised this isn't more well known.
