Preliminary checklist

• I am using the latest stable version of DDEV (see upgrade guide)
• I have searched existing issues
• I have checked the troubleshooting guide
• I have run ddev utility test or at least ddev utility diagnose to include output below

Output of ddev utility test or ddev utility diagnose

am on v1.25.1-57-g9039cd14d of HEAD

Expected Behavior

I would expect that the poweroff would run through with less or no stalling?

Actual Behavior

I've noticed for a while that ddev tends to "hang" for a while when powering off ddev:

debugging the poweroff the first project returns the following:

$> DDEV_DEBUG=true ddev poweroff
2026-04-07T16:21:54.899 Paused Mutagen sync session 'another' 
2026-04-07T16:21:54.899 Removing merged config for project with command 'rm -rf /mnt/ddev-global-cache/traefik/config/another_merged.yaml' 
2026-04-07T16:21:54.985 RunSimpleContainer: ContainerInspect attempt #1 for ddev/ddev-utilities:latest (container=afb2bfb5b42a) 
2026-04-07T16:21:55.050 RunSimpleContainer: ContainerInspect #1 returned after 65.527584ms for afb2bfb5b42a, err=<nil> 
2026-04-07T16:21:55.050 RunSimpleContainer: container afb2bfb5b42a state: Running=false Status=exited ExitCode=0 StartedAt=2026-04-07T14:21:54.932180875Z 
2026-04-07T16:21:55.108 Paused Mutagen sync session 'another' 
 Container ddev-another-db Removed  
 Container ddev-another-web Removed  
 Network ddev-another_default Removed  
Project another has been stopped. 

the first few lines run through immediately without any pause but after 2026-04-07T16:21:55.108 Paused Mutagen sync session 'another' is returned the second time the output hand. looks like the pausing of the mutagen sync session is causing that pause?
