Hi.
I am on QuantConnect only for a few weeks. Everything was fine so far, but today I couldn't run even the most simple backtest from the first BootCamp video. Apparently for this reason:
"There are no spare nodes available in your cluster. To launch a new backtest please stop an existing running backtest or add more compute nodes to your organization."
Does it mean that my free subscription "expired", and now I'll have to pay even for a two-lines buy-&-hold SPY backtest?
Thanks.

Hi Skuperst,
No, free subscriptions do not expire. Please try refreshing and relogging into the account as well as checking the resources on the right side of your screen if a node is running or not;
If it still doesn't work please provide more detailed information, thanks!
Skuperst
Thank you.
I have already done exactly that before sending the post but it didn't help:

It is saying in “In Use By”
here;
You have to click on the square and that will stop whatever backtest is running currently, that should fix the problem.
Thanks!
Skuperst
And I cannot share the backtest because it is still running ;(
In any case, the code is only this: self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily)

Hey, please try to click on this square here;
It will terminate the backtest that is currently blocking you from starting new ones, or is there a new problem now?
Thanks!
Skuperst
Thank you Mak.
Unfortunately it does not help. I checked again that the previous strategy stopped, and then launched a new one (with the same self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily) line). It is still running and there're no sign of stopping ;(
Mak K
Hey Skuperst,
When you say no sign of stopping that might be simply because it is still running, does your code have a start and end date?
Thanks!
Mak K
Ah, thanks for the edit, that makes it more clear.
Can you copy and paste the entire code here please?
Also this might simply be a server issue which will fix itself after some time but I can't be sure.
Thanks!
Skuperst
Thank you.
