QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi all,
Is there anything going on with Research environment? I can't connect to any kernels. I've faced an error, saying no free nodes available. I've subscribed to a private research node, but still can't connect - in a ‘select kernel’ pop-up, I keep seeing the spinning wheel, and it doesn't give any kernels to choose.
It's both on the web and the VS Code platforms for me.
