The fact that the --once flag was implemented and just didn't work. And it didn't work for several reasons. One, the control flow in the runner is extremely convoluted and exiting out is not trivial, and two, the scheduler doesn't handle assigned jobs not being picked up.

And reason 0: it was never completely implemented, wasn't documented anywhere and wasn't supposed to be used by anyone at all.
It's all the linked GitHub issue, begin from the top.
"Wasn't supposed to be used" is all fine and good until your GitHub rep uses its existence to sell you on actions...
