Description

We have a .NET 10 Isolated Durable Function App backed by Netherite.

Our storage account size is like 512 GB, we started purging (we are very late), and it's timing out.

Purging instances with filter: { CreatedFrom = 08/01/2025 00:00:00 +00:00, CreatedTo = 08/01/2025 00:00:01 +00:00, Statuses = Completed }

Even a 1 second window is timing out.

Other than resetting the TaskHub, what are our options? Netherite is supported till 31 March 2028 and we don't want to switch to DTS just yet.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the timeout with PurgeAllInstancesAsync or PurgeInstancesAsync against a Netherite-backed Durable Function App, using the one-second filter window described in the issue. The payload names no source files, tests, or entry points, and completion criteria beyond identifying alternatives to resetting the TaskHub are not specified.
