Pending Actor request received for xxxActorClass reqs None from ActorAddr-(TCP|178.79.176.66:38784)

This message is not being sent to your actor directly. When the createActor() is called and the requested actor should be created on another system, the Thespian systems send this message the other system to request creation of the actor.

...so why is this being logged when there's only one ActorSystem involved?

[kwquick]

This message is also used when an external element calls ActorSystem().createActor(). Because the external element is not a part of the Actor System itself, it needs to make a PendingActor request so that the Actor System will create the Actor on its behalf.

My guess is that:
a) your external code is repeatedly calling ActorSystem(...).createActor(...)
b) an existing actor is calling createActor with requirements that don't match the current system (although the logging you show above indicates "None", which should match anywhere) or where the target Actor class' actorSystemCapabilityCheck() is returning False
c) you have unsatisfiable requirements or capability check results in combination with (a) above.

If you'd like to provide some sample code (either here or privately) I'd be happy to help you diagnose this further.

Could it be the ActorSystem trying to restart a dead Actor, and announcing it?

Nevermind, I've got it solved. It was an external command (CLI) trying to retrieve some data. Thanks for the help!
