> I recently published the following space: [Tortoise TTS - a Hugging Face Space by mdnestor](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mdnestor/tortoise) Starting earlier today, users are unable to load the space, it is stuck “Preparing Space”. I am not seeing anything in the logs, and the app works fine locally, so I assume it is relating to Spaces. No idea where to start with this… any ideas?

I wonder why it stops after 5 minutes of operation…?
It’s slow to activate for HF restrictions, so I wonder if the server at the destination of the Space communication is doing something.

Same issue [here](https://hf.co/spaces/ochinpo/helper). Since my account can’t login [huggingface](https://hf.co), All the spaces in my [organization](https://hf.co/ochinpo) are stuck in “Preparing Space”, even though their status is “Running”

Solved. I deleted the associated repo and re-uploaded it, and now it works as usual
