Important finding for everyone stuck on 'Starting' status! Check your logs

A Hugging Face user discovered that Spaces stuck on 'Starting' status is a UI sync glitch, not a code issue. The backend runs successfully as shown in container logs, but the frontend fails to update. The user urges the Hugging Face team to fix the status update delay.

Dws321 1 I noticed many people are posting about their Spaces being stuck at ‘Starting’. After investigating, I found a critical detail: The UI is misleading, but the backend is actually working fine.If you check your container Logs, everything runs successfully in the background. The application initializes, but the frontend status on the Hugging Face UI just fails to sync and stays frozen at ‘Starting’.Don’t waste time changing your working code; it is a platform-side UI sync glitch. Hugging Face team, please look into this status update delay!
