Hello everyone, yesterday I created a simple app in hugging face platform. The app is just a gradio chat integrated with openai.

The app was working fine yesterday however today everytime I try to ask something to the chat it gives the following error:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Not sure why today is having that error

Any idea?

I also have the same application in a virtual machine and it works fine there, the only place it does not work is in huggingface

Thanks in advance!

Hey thanks for the reply. I restarted the space and the app was built without any errors. The errors appeared when I interacted with the chatbot

Now it works, looks like it was something related to huggingface environment 🙂
