Hi, I'm a member with QuantConnect. I ordered a researcher seat, and my own backtesting node a few days ago.
I've been debugging my algo for the last week, and today, I apparently lost the ability to backtest.
I was working in the Algo Lab, like normal, when suddenly my newest backtest was not finishing (I terminated it when it took over 200 or 300 seconds, everything was finishing in under 15 seconds until then).
Then I created a new project, and used the simplest algo I could create (included backtest), and even that wouldn't finish (I stopped it several times after taking 200 seconds).
Thus, it appears that perhaps my backtesting node is having a problem? I really don't know. Is there anything you can do to help? I'm dead in the water until I can get past this.
Here is the simple algo I tried to backtest once I started having problems:
"
class TestingGround(QCAlgorithm):
def Initialize(self):
self.SetStartDate(2021, 1, 5)
self.SetEndDate(2021, 1, 8)
self.SetCash(100000)
self.AddSecurity("SPY", Resolution.Minute)
def OnData(self, data):
self.Log(f'Data Recieved')
"
Thank you very much

Hey Cesare, sorry there was a temporary outage of the backtesting system. This has been resolved and backtests are functioning normally. Sorry for the hassle.
