I think it’s probably another issue with the HF platform…  
So, I guess if I just leave it alone, it’ll fix itself… @hysts @meganariley

Thanks for the ping. Yeah, a similar issue has already been reported internally, and the infra team is currently working on it.

Hi, it looked fixed yesterday afternoon, but now it looks like it is not working again, my space is stuck in bulding for no reason (I even tried to push again the same files of the version that is currently running), do we have more information about it ?

I am also having the same issue, rebuilt my old space, and it is stuck on “rebuilding”. I created another space and added files, it is still stuck on “rebuilding”.

Thank you @OrbitMC for this thread. I thought there was a problem with my spaces but looks like this is a HF problem.

Thank you @John6666 for thread keeping track of the instances this happened.

I also notice that when the build eventually completes, the new version starts serving and works, but the HF infrastructure doesn’t notice and still shows it as Restarting.

is there any chance someone from HF is looking at it ? do we have some other place to inform them? I feel like I am wasting time since last 4 days on it.. just watching “building”. Think about we are unresponsive to our customers or stakeholders?

Hmm… Major official HF updates usually take place during weekday daytime hours in the US. This particular issue was significant and the timing was unfortunate… Even on holidays, staff sometimes respond semi-officially out of goodwill. (For example, `hysts` posted a message earlier.)

The shortcomings of HF’s announcement system (in a conceptual sense, not referring to specific pages or functions) have existed for quite some time, but we haven’t seen any decisive improvements.  
I’m not exactly a veteran user of HF, so I don’t know the background or “why things are the way they are”…  
BTW, here’s an example of a feature added to the announcement system in recent years: [Changelog - Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/changelog)

Edit:  
As for features that have been around since I first started using HF, the HF Discord and [Posts](https://huggingface.co/posts) are sometimes used for announcements.

I have the same problem. My Space is stuck on the blue startup screen, and after a while it gives me this error:  
runtime error

I’ve tried everything, but nothing works… And to think it was working just yesterday…

Is working? Nothing’s changed on my end…

> Launch timed out, workload was not healthy after 30 min

Hmm… Given the timing, the infrastructure might be to blame, but this error often occurs for one of the following reasons:

1. Dependencies have been broken—perhaps due to an update to a library online—causing the installation to enter an infinite loop that cannot be resolved even after 30 minutes
2. The build simply includes a library that takes longer than 30 minutes to complete
3. The port used to launch the GUI’s backend process is incorrect, preventing the backend and frontend from communicating even after 30 minutes
4. etc.
