Welcome to the Streamlit community, and thanks for sharing your question (and the screenshot)! :blush: When a Streamlit Community Cloud app goes to sleep due to inactivity, it should wake up when visited or rebooted. However, if you see an “Oh no. Error running app” message and logs about failing to clone the repository or download sources, this usually means there’s a problem with your GitHub repo connection, branch, or permissions—not just sleep mode.

Here’s what you should check and try:

  1. Repository Access: Make sure the repo and branch exist, and that your GitHub account has the correct permissions. If your repo is private, confirm that Streamlit Cloud is authorized to access it.
  2. Branch/Entrypoint: Double-check that the branch and main file (e.g., main.py or app.py) haven’t been renamed, deleted, or moved.
  3. Reboot/Deploy: Try rebooting from the workspace or Cloud logs. If that fails, delete and redeploy the app from scratch.
  4. Git LFS/Bandwidth: If you use Git LFS for large files, ensure you haven’t exceeded your bandwidth quota.
  5. Logs: Review Cloud logs for more details. If you still see errors, share your requirements.txt and a minimal reproducible example for more help.

For more details, see the official docs on resource limits and rebooting your app. Community members, feel free to jump in with your insights or similar experiences!
