+### Cluster autoscaler fails to scale with error failed to fix node group sizes
+
+If your cluster autoscaler is not scaling up/down and you see an error like the below on the [cluster autoscaler logs][view-master-logs].
+
+```console
+E1114 09:58:55.367731 1 static_autoscaler.go:239] Failed to fix node group sizes: failed to decrease aks-default-35246781-vmss: attempt to delete existing nodes
+```
+
+This error is due to an upstream cluster autoscaler race condition where the cluster autoscaler ends with a different value than the one that is actually in the cluster. To get out of this state, simply disable and re-enable the [cluster autoscaler][cluster-autoscaler.md].
