503 ERROR: Docker Space Stuck in PAUSED State – Restart and Factory Rebuild Both Fail

A Hugging Face user reports that their Docker Space, "MCBE ProxVC Setup" by kkr1212, is stuck in the PAUSED state and that both Restart and Factory Rebuild fail with a 503 error. The user says they contacted Hugging Face support at website@huggingface.co more than a week ago and posted on the official Hugging Face Discord without receiving a response, and suspects an infrastructure-side issue rather than a Docker configuration problem. The request carries Request ID Root=1-6af2a0e9-62315c2716be7b7a4f6580ce.

I am experiencing a serious issue with my Hugging Face Docker Space.

Both Restart and Factory Rebuild consistently fail with a 503 error.

My Space is currently stuck in the D state, and I cannot get it running again.

The details are as follows:

Space status: D

Restart: Fails with 503 error

Factory Rebuild: Fails with 503 error

Environment: Docker Space

I have already tried both Restart and Factory Rebuild multiple times, but neither operation works.

I also contacted Hugging Face support at website@huggingface.co more than a week ago, but I have not received a response.

I also posted about this issue on the official Hugging Face Discord, but unfortunately, I have not received any help so far.

Since both restart and rebuild operations are failing, I suspect this may be an infrastructure-side issue rather than a problem with my Docker configuration.

Could someone from the Hugging Face team or anyone familiar with Spaces infrastructure please help investigate this issue?

I would really appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to recover my Space.
