If I fine-tune run\_seq2seq.py with a specific model from the hub and a specific dataset in 4 epochs it finishes correctly.  
I save a checkpoint at the third epoch.

But if I load the checkpoint at the third epoch and try to continue until the forth I get an out of memory error.

Is it necessary to make adjustments in the arguments of run\_seq2seq.py, when starting from a checkpoint, to obtain similar results?
