I’m using wandb version 0.14.0 in an ipynb file using vscode as part of assignment 1 of the ‘Effective MLOps’ course (logging dataset as artifact and visualising data with a table) When I execute `run.finish()` at the end of my file the cell hangs indefinitely with the message ```console Waiting for W&B process to finish... (success). ``` ---

How much data are you logging? It might still be uploading in the background. You can check one of the `debug.log` or `debug-internal.log` files in the `wandb` folder to see if there is any upload activity happening ---

Hi @arthur-howard, thanks for reporting this! In addition to Morgan’s suggestion, could you please share those files for a specific run affected? They are under your local folder `wandb/run--/logs` in the same directory where you’re running your code. Also, if you restart runtime on your notebook is the issue still raising or it only appears sometimes? ---

Hi @luis_bergua as Morgan suggested there is a rather large artifact uploading the debug log is 70,000 lines long and growing so I think everything is working as expected thank you! ---
