Hugging Face is the main hub for open machine learning models, datasets and Spaces, plus hosted inference.
Common Hugging Face errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
You have exceeded your monthly included credits for Inference Providers. | A 402 error: your account used its included monthly inference credits. | Your side | Check usage in billing settings, add credits or upgrade, or use your own provider key. Source |
Cannot access gated repo for url ... You must have access to it and be authenticated to access it. | A 401 GatedRepoError: the model is gated and your token or account has not been granted access. | Your side | Request access on the model page, log in with a token that can read gated repos, and pass it as token. Source |
429 {"error":"Model is overloaded","error_type":"overloaded"} | The hosted model is overloaded with requests. | Heavy load | Retry with backoff or use another provider or model. Source |
429 Too Many Requests | You hit Hugging Face's rate limits, for example when downloading model files without a token. | Your side | Set HF_TOKEN, cache models locally and upgrade huggingface_hub so it waits and retries. Source |
Is it just you?
- Separate the Hub (huggingface.co pages and downloads) from Inference Providers and Spaces; each can fail on its own.
- Set HF_TOKEN: anonymous downloads hit rate limits sooner.
- For gated models, check that your account was granted access and your token can read gated repos.
- A single Space failing is usually that Space's runtime error, not a Hugging Face outage.
- Check status.huggingface.co and the reports on this page.
Alternatives to Hugging Face
Questions
Most often the model is gated and your token lacks access, or you hit download rate limits without a token. Log in, request access on the model page, and set HF_TOKEN.
Spaces run separately, so one Space can crash while the Hub works. Check whether other Spaces and model pages load.
