Server is at capacity (363/200 sessions). Please try again later.

More than 2 days I cannot work any session or new conversation open due to this.

Do we have a solution, or is the project trashed?

edit2: Fixed on 02.06.26 by @lewtun

edit3: https://smolagents-ml-intern.hf.space/ responding " The space is paused, ask a maintainer to restart it " 04.06.26

edit4: system wants payments " Inference credits exhausted Upgrade to HF PRO for more monthly Inference Providers usage, or review pay-as-you-go pricing.

litellm.APIError: APIError: OpenAIException - Error code: 402 - {'error': 'You have depleted your monthly included credits. Purchase pre-paid credits to continue using Inference Providers. Alternatively, subscribe to PRO to get 20x more included usage.'} Traceback (most recent call last)" 2 days long

edit5: for being sure, checked again and tested some prompts on my ongoing conversation, it started working and recommending high priced opus 4.8 LOL so what happened, It hogged my hackaton vouchered money declared to my account, :claps:

now it is near to 1 week of cannot able to reach but
here is the update :
"
Message failed
The backend could not process the last message. Retry after a moment. If it keeps happening, raise an issue with the copied details.

Authentication failed — your API key is missing or invalid.

To fix this, set the API key for your model provider:
• Anthropic: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
• OpenAI: export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
• HF Router: export HF_TOKEN=hf_...

You can also add it to a .env file in the project root.
To switch models, use the /model command.

"

now it is giving this error :)

same for me cc @akseljoonas @cmpatino @lewtun

19.08 Update on your paid usage policy and your drained thousands of dollars while you are sleeping on that.
@akseljoonas @clem @lewtun
Have you ever checked your "https://endpoints.huggingface.co/ml-intern-explorers/audit-logs" ?
While some responsible person like me try to test models with afk stanby 15-30 minute auto turning off and not over GPU stacking for nonsense models, these two "https://huggingface.co/DedeProGames" and "https://huggingface.co/Sweaterdog" drained more than 6k dollar usage last month for at least seen.

So, yes, I always try to involve them in drainers that have been paused for 30 minutes and are not being used. I went with a darker edit.
But, as I see now, after thousands of dollars in usage, when I was only involved in and used the 28-dollar latest Frontier model testing, the admin somehow got involved and miraculously zeroed out the balance after days and days of nonsense.

FYI...
