Yes, after a bit of trial and error, this is what I did.

I would run it once every six hours and every day or so, I would see a NetCDF file locked up. I ended up changing the work flow somewhat so I don't do this any more (was using xarray to manipulate NetCDF and re-write to it) but this was confusing me for quite a while.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,694112301 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/4406#issuecomment-688101357,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/4406,688101357,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDY4ODEwMTM1Nw==,11863789,2020-09-07T07:28:37Z,2020-09-07T07:46:39Z,NONE,"I seem to also have similar issue, running under docker/linux environment.
