Users are reporting that Hugging Face Spaces have been freezing immediately upon starting, displaying only a single log line reading "===== Application Startup =====" instead of the usual detailed output. This issue began around 6:00 UTC+0 and persists despite attempts to restart, rebuild, or create new spaces with minimal Dockerfile configurations.

  • The error manifests as a freeze at the "starting" stage with incomplete logging.
  • Troubleshooting steps like restarting existing spaces or creating new ones with simple Alpine-based containers do not resolve the problem.
  • The issue has been ongoing for approximately two hours at the time of reporting.
