I deployed a crypto trading algo on Coinbase. It completes warmup ok, gets my current holdings and starts trading. However, the algo stops after some time due to below error and attempts to restart. I am not sure what's wrong with my algo, any help would be appreciated.

Based on the error message you provided, it seems like your algorithm is having trouble subscribing to the
user update
channels. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as network issues, API limitations, or incorrect configuration.Unfortunately, the provided extracts do not contain specific information about this error or how to resolve it. It would be helpful to review your algorithm's logic and ensure that it's correctly set up to handle subscriptions and updates.
If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to QuantConnect's support team at support@quantconnect.com with details about your algorithm and the error you're encountering. They might be able to provide more specific guidance.
Also, consider enabling automatic restarts for your algorithm. This feature attempts to restart your algorithm if it fails due to a runtime error, which could help improve its resilience to temporary issues like the one you're experiencing.

What does a ‘user update’ channel mean exactly? I don't believe there are network issues or an incorrect configuration since the algo trades some of the time. Also, the algo executes at the top of every hour, but these errors show up randomly. I also have automatic restarts enabled, but the logs don't appear to show any activity after restarting. Do you have any other ideas for next steps?

The term 'user update' channel typically refers to a type of data feed that provides real-time updates about a user's account or trading activity. This could include updates on order status, account balance, or other user-specific information.
However, the provided extracts do not contain specific information about 'user update' channels in the context of QuantConnect or Coinbase, so I can't provide a more precise definition.
If your algorithm is stopping randomly and not showing any activity after restarting, it might be encountering an unhandled exception or error that's causing it to fail silently. It's also possible that the issue is related to the data subscription, as suggested by the error message.
As next steps, I would recommend the following:
Remember, algorithmic trading can be complex and challenging, as humans often misunderstand their own code. It's important to thoroughly test your algorithm and consider all possible scenarios that could cause it to fail (source).
