Blackstone rust

Came back from a business trip and found rust. I oiled well after last use about a week ago, oil after every cook. It's got the hard cover and is under a large overhang but there was a good bit of rain while we were gone.
The rust is only in one area. The surface texture feels like the last cleaning with water removed some of the seasoning. There's always been an area that didn't season as well as the rest.
Do I need to sand down the entire surface or just concentrate on the rusty area? I know it needs to be re-seasoned just don't know if a smallish area can be focused on or if the whole griddle needs to start over.
Thanks

i had this happen in one area for me. I just scraped it down really well with a food scraper and water until it was stripped of all rust and seasoned it multiple rounds and it was good as new

I have used the pumice brick for the same type of problem.
Just use oil and the stone until the rust comes off.
Wipe spot with paper towels to get off rusty oil.
Reapply oil to same spot, clean with paper towels until that spot wipes up clean oil.
Then add your oil to reseason that spot and you should be just fine.
No need to pumice the entire griddle if the rest of the top is seasoned.
ETA: I don't recommend using water.

How do you clean after cooking? We sometimes add sauces to meat/veggies for rice bowls, stir fry’s, etc. that ends up a sticky mess. Water works great but I now see the downside.

Cleaning a hot grill with water is fine, as is using water to clean your cold grill. The water exposure while cleaning isn't enough to cause additional rust or damage. Just wipe dry and oil/season as you normally would.

Not sure if I scraped or steamed off a layer but there’s a noticeable ridge where the seasoned area stops and rust area starts. As said, I oil after every cook so not sure why rust even started. Maybe the now exposed metal got wiped off too well.

I just meant for the application you are doing, I wouldn't use water. Pumice stone and oil.
I clean my seasoned griddle with water with no issue, but it's seasoned.

Once you get it clean, they sell silicone mats for them. I oil mine up, press the silicone mat into the oil and never have rust when I go to use it the next time.

Don't worry about it just oil and go back to cooking like normal.

This
I’ll sometimes go a couple months without using mine and zero rust when I go to use it again
