this happened from the very first attempt to create a machine. i received an error about some rare error… can’t remember exactly…needing to re-partition space machine will be available soon. unfortunately after that got cleared up paper space is still incredibly slow. waiting minutes for machine to start, if it starts at all. logins take forever. i’ve emailed support and started a new machine. same issues. very very slow if it works at all. after many attempts i suspended my efforts because classes started. now i’m trying to get back at it.
