I'm getting this error after weeks of doing local deployment development on my laptop. Any ideas, kinda is breaking my development workflow right now.

✖ Error: Unable to start push to http://127.0.0.1:3210

Hmmm, okay - billing issue (i think)...

Hi @full merlin, I also get this error occasionally. I had it a few weeks ago as well. Not sure anymore what caused it to start working again then.
The issue seems to be a bit random; once the Convex CLI is in this state it isn't resolved by switching to a stable branch (e.g. main) and rerunning convex dev. It also doesn't seem to recover on its own; it stays in an InternalServerError loop indefinitely:

* Error: Unable to start push to https://<redacted slug>.convex.cloud
* Error fetching POST https://<redacted slug>.convex.cloud/api/deploy2/start_push 500 Internal Server Error: InternalServerError: Your request couldn’t be completed. Try again later.

Think I'll be able to resolve this by clearing cache or creating a new dev deployment, but would appreciate help with this

#

Ah, it just recovered on its own! But only after looping in this state for more than 3 minutes 🤔 Is this caused by some temporary server side issue?

`❯ npm run dev
