Why can't I connect to GPU backend even with a Colab Pro account?

Viewed 3939

For the past week, I have been failing to connect to a GPU, even though I have no active sessions whatsoever.

The message that keeps getting popped is the following:

Cannot connect to GPU backend

You cannot currently connect to a GPU due to usage limits in Colab. Learn more

As a Colab Pro subscriber you have higher usage limits than non-subscribers, but availability is not unlimited. To get the most out of Colab Pro, avoid using GPUs when they are not necessary for your work.

Note that I have a Colab Pro account.

If you excessively use GPUs you will go over the Colab Pro quota of 24h. Then, you will be restricted from usage for at least 12h.

Colab Pro is better and more flexible than the free version, but it still has its limitations.
