Hi Hugging Face Team, The Expression-Editor Space ([Expression Editor - a Hugging Face Space by fffiloni](https://huggingface.co/spaces/fffiloni/expression-editor)) seems to be stuck in queue indefinitely. The backend API at `/predictions` is not responding, and I suspect the backend service has been disabled. Could you confirm if the backend is officially discontinued, and if so, is there an alternative API or should I deploy my own instance? Thanks in advance! ---

Well, if you’re in a hurry, you can use it in your own space for sure if you pay for it by the amount used…😅 It seems that there have already been reports in the Discussion section. fffiloni is a busy person, but he is also active, so I think he will deal with it eventually if we keep reporting it to him. > **[fffiloni/expression-editor · The app doesn't work again](https://huggingface.co/spaces/fffiloni/expression-editor/discussions/26)** > > It's an endless queue that doesn't move anywhere. Fix this function please, I need to do the work before January 7th!
