Hello, everyone.

Everything in my python account seems to be running painstakingly slow, for the last month or so. A python notebook kernel is getting 30s to be restarted, not to mention when the constat "kernel error" messanges I get once every hour when working in a Python notebook. Besides that, according to the %%time magic command inside a notebook cell, I'm getting huge Wall time.

For instance...

CPU times: user 270 ms, sys: 7.05 ms, total: 277 ms

Wall time: 5.7 s

My CPU usage never reachs 100%. My file storage limit is currently 57%.

Could anyone git me a hint of what to do? It became impractical to produce code under these conditions. I have been using pythonanywhere since many years and it is the first time I'm experiencing such bad conditions.

If that notebook cell has something that has to wait for a bit (like a request to a server), then the wall time would be higher than the CPU time might suggest.

Thanks, gleen.

I'm not talking about a specif notebook. What I mentioned in the previous message - 30s to restart a kernel, constant kernel error messages and huge wall time - applies to any notebook, depending on the day. But just to point a concrete case, the wall time of 5.7s for 270ms of CPU time was from a notebook cell running a python code withou any import - merely functions to resolve the problem 51 of the project euler website, ie, operations with python native lists, multiplications and sums.

I don't see anything on the server or on your account that would have slowed your account down.
