Resolved Issues:

• In some cases, CycleCloud requested Azure metrics for an interval that was too large and got errors
• Spot VM evictions that occurred while VMs were booting were not handled properly
• Certain VM errors were incorrectly classified as a VM error rather than a no-spot-capacity indicator
• Catching up on metrics could cause an out-of-memory error if CycleCloud had been off for an extended time
