Issue with max query limit through DALQueryError

Support
#1

Hello, I am new to the Rubin platform and have been attempting to run the tutorial notebooks. When I get to the query part, I receive the following error:

DALQueryError: Query Error: Maximum running queries reached (12 running, maximum 12); wait for a query to finish or cancel one of your running queries

While TAP was down, I was attempting to run queries and they never processes which I suspect is the origin of the error, but this error persists after deleting queries, restarting the notebooks, exiting the environment, logging out.

Any advice on fixing this would be greatly appreciated! (below I will copy the cell from 102_1 that is causing this and the error is present in any call I try):

Hi @pb-aj, thanks for posting this question.

The first thing to do is to check your account’s RSP Job Monitor. Following the instructions in the tutorial linked below is one way to access the Job Monitor. You can skip everything in step 1 after “Select the ‘Portal’ box” and all of step 2, and go right to step 3. Take a look at Figure 1. While jobs are running, there will also be a “stop” icon in the “Control” column that you can use to cancel jobs.

I’m pretty sure this will fix your issue – if it does, please mark this reply post as the solution? And if it doesn’t, please report back so we can keep working on it.
