Background: We have an azure DevOps pipeline that we use to automatically deploy a webapp we maintain to an azure test instance.
This suddenly stopped running today with the following error.
TF24668: The following team project collection is stopped: ***********. Start the collection and then try again. Administrator Reason: abuse
where *********** is our project name.
It fails instantly when this happens. It doesn't appear to do anything else other than throw this error.
The developer who initially got the pipeline set up is no longer with the company.
I've looked through the DevOps interface, and I can't find what it means by this "project collection", and I can't find out how to start it.
Any ideas where I should look?

Each TFS Server can have one or more Team Project Collections. In turn, a Team Project Collection contains one or more Team Projects. A Team Project Collection is the basic unit of recovery for TFS. From a backup and restore perspective, a Team Project Collection is similar to a SharePoint Site Collection.
From the administration console, highlight the name of the collection that you want to delete, and then choose Detach Collection.
A collection is a container for a number of projects in Azure DevOps. A default collection is created when you sign up with Azure DevOps Services or install Team Foundation Server. Within Azure DevOps Services, a collection corresponds to an organization.
You can then manage the group of team projects as an autonomous resource with its own user groups, server resources, and maintenance schedule. A group of projects is called a project collection. When you install Azure DevOps Server, a default collection is created to contain all projects.
If you are using Azure DevOps Service. This is a known issue on Azure DevOps, Microsoft Product Team has fixed it and all hosts have reboot, you could try it again and then kindly share the result here.
If you are using Azure DevOps Server, you should open Azure DevOps Server Administration Console->click the tab Team Project Collections->check the collection and ensure the state is Online, then try it again.
Note: If you do not have enough permission to do this, please contact the collection administrator to check it.
