My Space is stuck in a 503 error. The Restart and Factory Rebuild buttons are completely unresponsive, and committing new code does not trigger a new build. Can you forcefully restart or clear the container cache for my Space?

If the service is forcibly set to PAUSED (and returns to PAUSED no matter what you do), there is a possibility that Hugging Face has intentionally imposed an automatic ban.

If that is not the case, it could simply be due to a change in the runtime or library specifications, causing the service to stop working upon restart and return a 503 error. Your assessment will depend on whether there are error messages or error logs (primarily container logs)…

If thePAUSEDstatus case , there is currently no solution other than contacting HF Support: website@huggingface.co
