Getting error 503 Something went wrong when restarting this Space.

The hardware indicator just spins and spins… I am using the CPU upgrade now. Changing the hardware does not seem to help

Any ideas on how to fix this?

There’s nothing particularly suspicious in the code or dependencies.

One thing to note: For Gradio spaces, the Gradio specified in `README.md` is automatically installed. Therefore, to prevent mismatches—especially when using `OAuth` or similar—it’s [better not to specify Gradio installation in `requirements.txt`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/arterm-sedov/cmw-agent/blob/main/requirements.txt#L10).

```py
# Gradio - Modern web UI framework
#gradio>=4.0.0

```

Will try to change this setting. Thanks @John6666

I wrote to huggingface support, and they told me the space is suspticious, I read the policies, but could not guess the reason.

> space is suspticious

Oh… In that case, it’s not due to code or configuration issues, but rather intentional error-out, so there’s nothing the user can do about it…
