Space is permanently stuck on "Paused" after push in free account

Hugging Face free-tier users are reporting that Spaces are permanently stuck on "Paused" and cannot be restarted due to a 403 error indicating no CPU-basic quota is available, even after pausing all Spaces. Multiple users, including PhoeSai99, have filed complaints about the quota limit and new restrictions that mark the Docker SDK as "Paid" when creating a Space, leading to community calls for Hugging Face to revert the changes.
