Free Account ZeroGPU Quota Issue

Beginners
1

For a few days now, a lot of users like me have a big issue while generating images and videos on Spaces. Usually, i was able to generate 15-20 images a day with ZeroGPU with a SDXL model. Now, i can only generate 3-4 images, with the same exact model, before I get this message : “You have exceeded your free GPU quota (60s requested vs. 0s left). Try again in 0:00:00”. I had no issue for months, but since 8 April, this issue appeared for practically all free users. All models have the same exact issue as I’ve tested them.

It very much seems to be some kind of bug or a secret update, but it’s very annoying. Could someone do something about it or figure out what’s going on ?

I think it’s basically one of the cases listed below, but I wonder if something else of Zero GPU has changed…? @hysts

Recently, a limit was introduced on how many times free users can run ZeroGPU Spaces per day. There was an issue where hitting that run limit would return the same error as the quota limit, and this seems to be what is causing the error you are seeing.
The fix has already been implemented internally, but it’s not yet been fully deployed. As a result, users may still continue to see the same error for now.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. So even if the error message is the same, the actual cause can sometimes be different…

Well, as long as it’s not a serious bug, it should be fine.

So we’re changing from time base limit to a requests rate-limit? Or both?

There are both time-based quotas and request-based limits in place.

Thank you for your attention to this topic. Just one last question: could you clarify what the current request-based limits are?

Can we have an update here? Anyone?

The current request-based limit is three times per day.

so blahblahblah your have 4 minutes
but can realy use only 20 sec? :person_facepalming:

11

and even with 4
you never can use 4
bcz most of spaces request at least 60sec to just run
even if they using only 5…10
earlier your minuter increased all day…

Hmm, I suppose the specific limit numbers are probably unavoidable due to some kind of emergency measure, but I hope that eventually the request limit will be based on the actual duration.

Whether it’s video generation or embeddings, one request is still one request…
