Images don't seem to be working:

Either way, hope the user was communicated with or alerted to what's going on.

At the same time, someone said that 800 GB container images are a problem in of themselves no matter the circumstances and they got downvoted for saying so - yet I mostly agree.

Most of mine are about 50-250 MB at most and even if you need big ones with software that's GB in size, you will still be happier if you treat them as something largely immutable. I've never had odd issues with them thanks to this. If you really care about data persistence, then you can use volumes/bind mounts or if you don’t then just throw things into tmpfs.

I'm not sure whether treating containers as something long lived with additional commmits/layers is a great idea, but if it works for other people, then good for them. Must be a pain to run something so foundational for your clients, though, cause you'll be exposed to most of the edge cases imaginable sooner or later.
