Cannot resume private ZeroGPU Space on eligible free account — PRO required (403)

Hi Hugging Face team,

I’m unable to resume my private ZeroGPU Space, KarelKiryu/chromia-private.

My account is on the free plan, was created on September 25, 2026, and has a verified email address. This is my only Space.

The Space was starting and executing model initialization earlier today. After I paused it, attempting to resume it through either the web interface or HfApi.restart_space() returns:

Subscribe to PRO at https://huggingface.co/subscribe/pro to use ZeroGPU

The API returns HTTP 403. Uploading code to the private Space still succeeds, and hf auth whoami confirms that I’m authenticated as its owner, KarelKiryu.

I also tried hf spaces zero-gpu quota, but that endpoint returns HTTP 403 with “Authorization error”, so I cannot check the remaining quota.

The current ZeroGPU documentation states that free personal accounts with a verified email and an account older than 30 days can host up to two ZeroGPU Spaces.

Could you clarify whether this free hosting allowance includes private Spaces, and why resuming this Space now requires PRO?

Thank you!
