Hi - I am seeing an unexpected “Bad Request” build error without any explanation, even when I switch to paid hardware for my spaces. All spaces that have already been built seem to be working fine even on the free hardware tier. It’s been happening throughout the past 16 hours or so for me. Is anyone else seeing this with their spaces?

It looks like mine is related to using a private model through a huggingface access token. Below is the error:

```auto

    model = SentenceTransformer('synente/nli-distilroberta-base-v2finetuned_model_jan2', use_auth_token=hf_access_token)

The space’s name is synente/description\_split\_and\_match. It is a private space and the model being accessed is also a private model.
