Scale down aws autoscale

You have a few options.

With AWS, you can configure an AWS lambda to run when a machine is remove from an autoscaling group. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-aws-lambda-with-auto-scaling-lifecycle-hooks/. The Lambda could call an API call in Octopus to delete the machine.

Or, you can configure your machine health checks in Octopus to automatically remove unhealthy machines.

I would take a hard look at the AWS Lambda function.
