Hi,

while re-starting or rebooting my space I get a weird `BadRequestError` when a model from a private repo is supposed to be downloaded from the hub. There is a very similar topic Build Error - Bad Request that has been resolved a couple of days ago but the problem seems to persist in my situation.

I have no problem to execute my code and download the model locally.  
Tried to restart/reboot the space a couple of times the last two weeks but without success.

Space: [Deepdoctection - a Hugging Face Space by deepdoctection](https://huggingface.co/spaces/deepdoctection/deepdoctection)

This is the message I receive:

Upgrading to huggingface\_hub 0.12.0 resolved the problem.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
