Google colab is showing busy

Question

I ran a training process on google colab yesterday. Now the google colab is showing busy, even after restarting runtime and interrupting execution. I want to stop the current execution. Please help!

Answer 1

It means that your code is running. You don't need to get panicked. Just wait for your code to complete the execution. Your kernel will become ready to use again after that.

As per your scenario, if it's still busy even after complete execution, you can do as in the above answer (Reset session)

Answer 2

Selecting 'restart runtime' from the runtime menu should suffice.

If for some reason that doesn't work, you can drop your current backend and start fresh with a new one by selecting the command 'Reset all runtimes...' from the Runtime menu.

Answer 3

Same problem: stuck with 'busy' and 'reconnecting' status.

'restart runtime' didn't work.

Change GPU/CPU didn't work.

Runtime -> Manage Sessions -> Terminate worked.
