GitHub issue #7344: HfHubHTTPError: 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for URL when trying to access SlimPajama-627B or c4 on TPUs
State: closed | Created: 2024-12-22T16:30:07Z

### Describe the bug

I am trying to run some trainings on Google's TPUs using Huggingface's DataLoader on [SlimPajama-627B](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cerebras/SlimPajama-627B) and [c4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/c4), but I end up running into `429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for URL` error when I call `load_dataset`. The even odder part is that I am able to sucessfully run trainings with the [wikitext dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Salesforce/wikitext). Is there something I need to setup to specifically train with SlimPajama or C4 with TPUs because I am not clear why I am getting these errors.



### Steps to reproduce the bug

These are the commands you could run to produce the error below but you will require a ClearML account (you can create one [here](https://app.clear.ml/login?redirect=%2Fdashboard)) with a queue setup to run on Google TPUs
```bash
git clone https://github.com/clankur/muGPT.git
cd muGPT
python -m train --config-name=slim_v4-32_84m.yaml +training.queue={NAME_OF_CLEARML_QUEUE}
```

The error I see:
```

### Expected behavior

I'd expect the DataLoader to load from the SlimPajama-627B and c4 dataset without issue.
