Fix MaxRetryError
in HuggingFace Hub
✅ Solution
MaxRetryError in huggingface-hub usually indicates too many failed connection attempts to the Hugging Face Hub, often due to network instability or server-side issues. To fix this, increase the `max_retries` parameter in your `huggingface_hub` configuration (globally by setting the `HF_HUB_MAX_RETRY` environment variable or locally using `snapshot_download(..., max_retries=N)`) and/or verify your internet connection and Hugging Face Hub status before retrying. Consider adding a delay between retries using `sleep(seconds)` to avoid overwhelming the server.
