I realized earlier today that I was on the wrong version of the openlane docker image this entire time,

efabless/openlane:latest

. I changed it to the version I’m supposed to be using, as indicated in the current Makefile, so

efabless/openlane:2023.02.14

And now none of my macros will build anymore, due to routing congestion. I have a macro here that used to have a DIE_AREA of

0 0 650 650

, but even after setting it to

0 0 2920 3520

, the size of the full user area, it still stops on

Global Routing Resizer Timing Optimizations

, telling me routing congestion is too high. Changing docker images back to latest fixes the problem again. I assume this is a bug?

best place to report this is in #openlane or open an issue on the github repo
