It seems that [you may have encountered an issue caused by a library used in Space, etc](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/staying-on-the-preparing-space-page-cannot-restart-space/166048). However, based on the progress so far, it appears that recovery is possible through negotiations with support. [website@huggingface.co](mailto:website@huggingface.co) (In detail, see HF Discord)
