This is happening for the past 3 days at least. I have tried several times each day. I am in region EU-RO-1 and I am usually renting an RTX4090 and using template COMFYUI or COMFYUI Cuda13. My last attempt was on POD ID os80h8am7cjnz0. I have been waiting for up two 20 minutes each attempt.

I don't expect the cuda13 one to work on most machines, don't try it with that one

I sent you my userID but did not receive any credit. And by the way, the issue is not solved.

Hi there, apologies for the delay - lost track of this. I just sent you some credits for the pods, not able to reproduce this though. just confirming you are using the official template with the Runpod logo?

#

I tried spinning up pods a few times and didn't run into it

Happened again. Pod ID mzzfcpzy88xvj0. Official runpod template. Tried to send the full log by DM but there isn't enough space. It is the same error though.

@opaque sigil I'd probably open a ticket with pod IDs if you're able to reproduce it so we can get more eyes on it

opaque sigil Apr 9, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

Let me know what I need to do.

Same problems, it just charges me but I can't access the comfyui I installed for example

Haven't been able to open ComfyUI on some templates I start either, some seem to work better.
