Failed IC deploys are entirely too expensive something has to change

I regularly have functions that work fine on the local replica and hit a limit in production. Is there a switch to turn this on?

Deterministic Time Slicing

Cycles and instructions are two different things. We do not have cycles simulation on the local replica. We have instruction simulation though. Instruction simulation is putting limits on how long a message can execute for. Cycles simulation is actually paying for resources that a canister is using.

Good catch Ulan! Yes, this is why @skilesare is seeing the problem he reported above. We should really try to get the local replica to emulate the mainnet as closely as possible.
