Lr_find() getting interrupted

Hi, I am new to fast.ai and ml in general, but every time I run learn.lr_find() it says “interrupted”

I’m using google colab and I do have hardware accelerator set to GPU. It doesn’t always happen after 17 cycles, it has happened as late as 28, and as early as 6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is that really normal?

Yes, as you train that plot will dynamically change due to how different your weights will become
