"textContent": "Hi everyone,\n\nMy account (tanmaydesai07) was recently locked, and I believe I know exactly why. I am a final-year engineering student, and I’ve been heavily utilizing Hugging Face to host my disaster prediction and geospatial ML projects.\n\nIn an attempt to keep my prototypes accessible, I made the rookie mistake of setting up a GitHub Action to ping my Spaces to keep them awake 24/7. I now realize this is a direct violation of the Terms of Service regarding free tier compute limits, and I genuinely apologize for the resource drain. I misunderstood the policy and was just trying to keep my models online.\n\nI have already completely disabled and removed the GitHub Actions workflows from my repositories.\n\nI sent an email to safety@huggingface.co over the weekend to appeal the lockout, but I am posting here just in case there is anything else I need to do to prove I’ve corrected the issue. I rely heavily on Hugging Face for my academic coursework and projects, and I promise to either let my Spaces sleep naturally moving forward.\n\nAny guidance from the moderators would be incredibly appreciated!\n\nThanks,\n\nTanmay",
