can't escape PCT ENTER from wedged CT

[mathx]

long time user but somehow stuck on a noob problem - how to escape PCT enter? had a container wedge, wanted my shell back on the host.

this does NOT seem to be in play (no, Im not using it in screen with meta=^a)

from pct(1):

--escape \^?[a-z] ([I]default =[/I] ^a)
Escape sequence prefix. For example to use <Ctrl+b q> as the escape sequence pass [I]^b[/I].

^a q does nil for me. Hints?

how to escape PCT enter?

I always use the exit command to leave a pct enter CT_ID_NUMBER (when using ssh to connect to the Proxmox host).

EDIT: Or did I not understand the question correctly? I don't know what a container wedge is. EDIT2: Sorry for misunderstanding the question.

Can't exit from a wedged container. It's frozen, dead, etc. I want to escape the PCT enter and diagnose from the host without having to open a new shell etc. Should be possible regardless of workarounds.
