To everyone affected by the recent rate limit error, looks like wandb are investigating a filestream error. Check out [https://status.wandb.com/](https://status.wandb.com/)

Mine too. I would be very grateful if you could exceed my file stream limit (as I have to finish my project soon and now suddenly get those file-stream errors…)

Kept getting the same error as well during logging. It’s not even that many images, probably wouldn’t even take more than 100kb/s upload.

What’s bizarre is that sometimes wandb.Api() just breaks out of no reason too and hangs for 60s before it gives up when I try to pull my data. Tried to make the run public and switch accounts as well to no avail. They really need to fix their rate limits.

Probably won’t be a solution for everyone but my PhD students got so mad they made [mlop.ai](http://mlop.ai) which seems to be a lot more responsive and fixed this for us ([GitHub - mlop-ai/mlop: Next Generation Experimental Tracking for Machine Learning Operations](http://github.com/mlop-ai/mlop))
