Jose:

HTCondor will kill the container, just like it will kill a running job 
when requested to by a condor_rm or a preemption or similar reason. My 
first guess is that's what's happening. The StartdLog should have more 
details.

In 8.9, we introduced Tickets of Execution in the job ad which have more 
details about why the job left the machine.
