Are you on a VPN or firewall that may be re-routing or blocking your traffic? And what is the size of the image, in MB and in pixels (width and height) for the image in question that failed? ---

No, I’m not using any VPN. The file I am testing is 2016 x 980 in pixels and 100 KB in MBs. ---

I have been facing the same problem when trying to predict by uploading an image and when trying to infer on local images. I get the same error: Exception has occurred: ConnectionError (‘Connection aborted.’, ConnectionResetError(10054, ‘An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host’, None, 10054, None)) @Mohamed is there anything I can do to address this? ---

I’m looking at this on another thread, too. I have a hunch as to what the problem may be - can you two email [help@roboflow.com](mailto:help@roboflow.com) with the scripts you’re using to run the API calls? Additionally, please include the example image file(s) you tested when receiving the 500-errors. > [@Deploying using api is giving 500 eroor](https://discuss.roboflow.com/t/deploying-using-api-is-giving-500-eroor/1688/7): > > @jackey @zong_wei Interesting - I’m having trouble reproducing this. Are hosted images the only images you are testing with, or have you both tried with local images, too? Additionally, what are the image sizes you’re testing with? (In Megabytes, and the width/height in pixels) ---

Hi @Oleg I am deleting your post since you have an API key shared publicly. You should revoke your API key as soon as possible. API keys allow access to your account and should never be shared publicly. If you are still having issues, please create a new forum post. Can you confirm which workspace and model you are trying to infer on?
