Description
## Issue Summary
Container instances are not available on production Cloudflare Workers account, causing all container-related operations to fail with error: "There is no container instance that can be
provided to this Durable Object, try again later"
## Environment Details
- Account: Production Cloudflare Workers account (can share per request)
- Wrangler Version: 4.23.0
- Container Config: instance_type: "dev" with @cloudflare/containers SDK
- Deployment: Working locally and in tutorial examples, failing in production
## Error Details
ERROR: There is no container instance that can be provided to this Durable Object, try again later
Configuration wrangler.jsonc:
```json
{
"containers": [{
"name": "code-container",
"class_name": "CodeContainerDO",
"image": "./Dockerfile",
"instance_type": "dev"
}],
"durable_objects": {
"bindings": [{
"class_name": "CodeContainerDO",
"name": "CODE_PORTABLE"
}]
}
}
```
Steps to Reproduce
1. Deploy worker with container configuration
2. Call any endpoint that uses containerDO.start()
