HfHubHTTPError: 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for URL when trying to access Fineweb-10BT on 4A100 GPUs using SLURM
State: open | Author: calvintanama (NONE)

### Describe the bug

I am trying to run some finetunings on 4 A100 GPUs using SLURM using axolotl training framework which in turn uses Huggingface's Trainer and Accelerate on [Fineweb-10BT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb), but I end up running into 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for URL error when I call next(dataloader_iter). Funny is, that I can run some test fine tuning (for just 200 training steps) in 1 A100 GPU using SLURM. Is there any rate limiter set for querying dataset? I could run the fine tuning with the same settings (4 A100 GPUs in SLURM) last month.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

You would need a server installed with SLURM

1. Create conda environment
1.1 conda create -n example_env -c conda-forge gxx=11 python=3.10
1.2 conda activate example_env
1.3 pip install torch==2.5.1 torchvision==0.20.1 torchaudio==2.5.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124
1.4 conda install nvidia/label/cuda-12.4.0::cuda-toolkit
1.5 Download flash_attn-2.7.4.post1+cu12torch2.5cxx11abiFALSE-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
1.6 pip3 install packaging
1.7 pip3 install ninja
1.8 pip3 install mlflow
1.9 Clone https://github.com/calvintanama/axolotl.git
1.10 `cd` to `axolotl`
1.11 pip3 install -e '.[deepspeed]'

2. Run the training
2.1. Create a folder called `config_run` in axolotl directory
2.2. Copy `config/phi3_pruned_extra_pretrain_22_29_bottleneck_residual_8_a100_4.yaml` to `config_run`
2.3. Change yaml file in the `config_run` accordingly
2.4. Change directory and conda environment name in `jobs/train_phi3_22_29_bottleneck_residual_8_a100_4_temp.sh`
2.5. `jobs/train_phi3_22_29_bottleneck_residual_8_a100_4_temp.sh`

### Expected behavior

This should not cause any error, but gotten
