ComfyUI: "Failed to connect to server at http://127.0.0.1:8188 after 500 attempts" on serverless

[hidden raft]

Hi everyone, help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂 We're trying to move from permanent Pods to serverless and ran into this brickwall.
We're having a sales call with Runpod on Monday so it's time sensitive.
I followed the official instructions at https://github.com/runpod-workers/worker-comfyui . I've opened the port on the serverless endpoint but it does not solve the issue.
We're using the Dockerfile from the official repo with slight modifications. Any ideas?

Just add more time, you're loading needs more time

Set an env in the endpoint
COMFY_POLLING_MAX_RETRIES

The value should be more than 700 I guess for your case

Try more than 500 attempts

Thank you @harsh pier for the help! I had to tweak COMFY_API_AVAILABLE_MAX_RETRIES in rp_handler instead, but it did resolve the issue
