"Failure updating submission data" and Queue Congestion

[archettialberto]

Dear Codabench Team,

We are running the competition https://www.codabench.org/competitions/4430. There seems to be an issue with submissions getting stuck on an Internal Server Error 500. All workers on our servers return errors like the following. We tried

• Restarting the workers
• Changing the queue

How should we handle this issue? This looks very similar to #1471 and #1446.
Thanks for the support!

Apparently we're having the same problem in the competition I'm running and we're using the public default queue, so I guess the problem lies upstream somehow.

Hello, the problem is fixed.
