It seems to be a kind of safety device to prevent the case where the program continues to run with a bug and consumes money, assuming that it is running on a paid Spaces. There is probably an error in the settings or something.

I’m having the same problem. Is there any more information on this issue?

> Greetings from the edge of the galaxy—or at least from my Windows 11 rig, where I’m battling an AutoTrain crisis worthy of a sci-fi blockbuster. I’m armed with a write token, PowerShell wizardry, and a dream of training models without the universe imploding, but alas, your API is throwing a 429 Too Many Requests tantrum, followed by a melodramatic “Invalid token” sob story. I’m pretty sure I didn’t sign up for this level of intergalactic drama, so let’s unpack this mess. Here’s the saga in all …

I figured this out. It’s a setting you control when you first create your Space. At the bottom, there’s a setting called: PAUSE\_ON\_FAILURE. Set that to 0 instead of 1. Now your Space won’t pause when you encounter an error, and you’ll be able to check the relevant logs.

Sorry to ressurect this, but where’s this pause on failure button? Does this work for non AutoTrain apps? Mine is just a regular FastAPI app. There’s no setting in my space like that and my space randomly auto-pauses and gets into a pause/restart loop always refreshing the page; making it impossible to read the logs. I have no idea what happened. Any clues?
I’d be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

You can explicitly pause a Space via the HF API or GUI, but auto-pause is an AutoTrain feature, so it shouldn’t be present in a regular FastAPI app unless you consciously implement it… probably.
[Sleep states](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/guides/manage-spaces) or [infinite restarts due to crashes](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fdebugging-spaceses-application%2F71242) are relatively common.
