Im on starcluster v0.94, I started with a public ami from AWS that was
centos/ebs/hvm based. Have since tweaked it and saved it as one of
my own AMIs so Im not sure which image it was originally. Looking at their
list of public images but none of them seem like the one I started with.

Could have these amis lost the 'deleteontermination' flag? trying to find
where this is set.
