Trouble with asset uploads and reaching quota, but issue resolved by re-downloading images.

Last updated: Dec 22, 2022
I'm having trouble with asset uploads on a project. I see a warning in my account about nearing the asset quota, but I have added a credit card to pay for overage. My imports (using the CLI) are getting stuck at 99%.

Bumping this, since I'm really stuck on uploading images.

I just deleted my dataset and started re-importing to see if it would help.

Since I still wasn't able to add more assets this morning.

It looks like your organization does have billing details set up on our end. Where are you getting the asset warning? Is it in the CLI or in sanity.io/manage ?

The CLI doesn't give a warning, but hangs at 98% for as many hours as I will let it run.
Dec 19, 2022, 6:00 PM
Ok, then where are you getting the warning?

Until today, the manage page said I was nearing my limit. That message doesn't appear now.

And I see it went over 5GB finally.

I'm still having the same problem:
sanity dataset import ~/Downloads/foxy/works.ndjson production --replace

This is really preventing me from launching a new art gallery website.

I still have no ability to complete my uploads. I get stuck on 98% during the import of assets. We're going to have to switch to another CMS to make our deadline if we can't upload our images.

It sounds like something is wrong with those final assets you're trying to upload and it's causing the import script to freeze. What do they look like? How many assets are not being uploaded?
Dec 20, 2022, 8:14 PM
OK, I ran with 
DEBUG="<http://sanity.io|sanity.io>"
and I see this when it gets stuck at 98% while uploading images. Does this mean I need to figure out asset 158?

Wow, that's super frustrating that is doesn't give you more information in that error. And that it doesn't even give you the error if you run the import without the debug flag! What's the size/format of the images you're importing? We could figure out a way for you to share it and I can troubleshoot it on my end.
Dec 21, 2022, 5:55 PM
OK, I figured it out. Some of the images hadn't downloaded completely, and some images were stored in Google Drive (so they download after being accessed). I re-downloaded my images from Cloudinary to my Documents directory (not a cloud drive) and uploads worked.

That's great! Thanks for sharing your solution. It'll be helpful for us to diagnose if a similar situation comes up in the future!
