I have seen other posts with this problem and have seen people say its an issue on the side of HF and they need to fix it, I am mainly posting so that the issue gets more attention as the space is very important to my job. Thanks.`\n\nSince this [is probably a glitch on the HF side this time, I recommend this workaround if you’re in a hurry](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/space-stuck-at-starting-health-checker-not-responding-june-20-2026/177005/18).
