Still learning the basics with some trial and error. These lines of code runs like forever. Tried to turn the node off but doesn't seem to help. What might be wrong? Thanks

same for another backtest which took seconds to run just a few hours earlier.
Eduardo Barros Verez
Same situation here
Lawrence Breen
Thought it was just me. Had one in limbo for an hour
Michael Hsia
Same here.
I was able to run my backtest script successfully in the past few days. All of a sudden, the same script I was testing stuck in the same situation as mentioned above.

Cloud update maybe? idk

Clearly, currently, there is a problem at QuantConnect….
In the past, when this happened (search this forum), the problems were attributed to the "cloud."
I think that QC should monitor this kind of issue and prominently display an ALERT on the web navigation bar (ideally sending also messages via email) to avoid wasting users' time.

same thing is happening to me. Started around last evening.

I just looked at the Status Monitoring page at:
https://www.quantconnect.com/status/ (accessible from the site footer links),
and it seems that this issue is frequently happening in the last few days.
It would be nice to know the reason.
Dean Lim
could folks at quantconnect talk to us?

Hi all, there was a temporary outage of backtesting from the primary data stores needing a reboot. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It's been resolved and all systems are back online. We have alerting systems but in general, please send outage reports to support@quantconnect.com. I think this is the first downtime (6 hours) in more than 6 months which puts us at 99.9% uptime.
