Deployment Stuck on Pending

If a deployment stays on pending for more than 20 minutes, check the logs from the deployment detail page.

Common causes​

  • GPU node provisioning — Sandbox deployments provision a GPU node on demand. First-time provisioning can take up to 18 minutes. If still pending after 20 minutes, contact support.
  • Model download in progress — Large models (70B+) take longer to pull. Check the logs for download progress messages.
  • Deployment failed silently — The status may not update correctly if the pod errored during startup. Click View Logs to see the actual pod output.

View logs​

From the deployment detail page click View Logs. Look for errors in the init container (model pull) or main container startup.

Still stuck?​

If the deployment has been pending for more than 30 minutes with no activity in the logs, delete it and redeploy. If the issue recurs, contact support with your deployment ID.
