Hello @alifadji135! To get an idea of why the error could be occuring, could you answer the following: - What wandb SDK version are you using? - Are you running any sort of distributed training process? - Could you try running `export WANDB_INIT_TIMEOUT=120` prior to running your script & let me know if you’re still running into this error? With certain networking setups, sometimes initialization can take a bit longer. If you could also try running `export WANDB_HTTP_TIMEOUT=60` , that would be helpful too. - Have any network/firewall settings on your machine changed recently? Sometimes firewalls or antivirus software might prevent `wandb` from sending/receiving requests. - If you could send over the debug.log and debug-internal.log files associated with the run that is encountering this, I’d love to take a look. They should be located in the `wandb` folder in the same directory as where the script was run. The `wandb` folder has folders formatted as `run-DATETIME-ID` associated with a single run. ---

Would you be able to reopen this and provide an answer? The error message you receive when this happens is not particulary helpful. For example: ```auto CommError: Run initialization has timed out after 90.0 sec. Please refer to the documentation for additional information: https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/track/tracking-faq#initstarterror-error-communicating-with-wandb-process- ``` ---

How did you solve this? I also find that at the same time I cannot access the wandb panel via web. Is it because the server is down?
