Datetime parsing error when calling get_inference_endpoint

Inference Endpoints on the Hub
1

I have an inference ednpoint on the hub and when I try to get it with endpoint = get_inference_endpoint("vlt5-base-keywords-twitopt")

I get an error related to datetime parsing

The endpoint is paused. But if I resume it manually from the web interface the code runs ok.

I’m getting the same error maybe 1/20 times when resuming an endpoint. The only fix is to manually pause and resume from the website.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python3.12/site-packages/huggingface_hub/utils/_datetime.py", line 56, in parse_datetime
    dt = datetime.strptime(date_string, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ")

Wow, just no one cares I guess? So bizarre. Yeah, I’m seeing the same thing. Unreal.

FYI, I opened a Github issue about it: list_inference_endpoints fails with Date parsing error · Issue #2671 · huggingface/huggingface_hub · GitHub
