- Hi! I’m a student working on an educational project to detect arrows and circles using YOLOv8. I’ve finished annotating my images but ran out of credits and cannot export/download my dataset. Could you please help me download my dataset or restore the credits needed for export? Thank you!

I can help with that Issue , There is a workaround , I do not know if it Legally or not

you could use the Roboflow Instant Model training  
when you use it since it is free from credits it creates Checkpoint from the dataset you can use it to download ur dataset

again I do not know if it legally or not
