I created xxwp/n8n free on Space, but the page has been stuck on ‘Preparing Space’ since yesterday. I tried the ‘Restart Space’ and ‘Factory rebuild’ operations, but none of them worked. Can I find help here?

If Space does not start and a red error message appears, we may be able to fix it ourselves, but if it gets stuck forever at “Preparing” or “Building,” [this measure](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fstuck-in-preparing-space%2F164814%2F2) should be considered.
