504 Gateway Timeout when uploading large dataset to Hugging Face Hub
State: open

### Description
I encountered consistent 504 Gateway Timeout errors while attempting to upload a large dataset (approximately 500GB) to the Hugging Face Hub. The upload fails during the process with a Gateway Timeout error.

I will continue trying to upload. While it might succeed in future attempts, I wanted to report this issue in the meantime.

### Reproduction
- I attempted the upload 3 times
- Each attempt resulted in the same 504 error during the upload process (not at the start, but in the middle of the upload)
- Using `dataset.push_to_hub()` method
