Deploy to Glitch not working

🌵 Needle Engine

I’ve successfully built and deployed an AR experience to Glitch that initially works perfectly. However, after approximately 3 days of uptime, it stops functioning and displays the following error:

Questions:

  1. Is this a known issue with Glitch’s free/paid tier limitations?
  2. Are there any common causes for AR experiences timing out after a few days?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Prajjwal,

  1. Known Issues with Glitch: Yes, there are known limitations with Glitch’s free tier. Projects are subject to inactivity timeouts, and there are size restrictions (typically around 100 MB) for free plans, which might result in projects being suspended if those limits are breached. If your AR experience exceeds these limitations, it may shut down after a few days.

  2. Common Causes for Timeout: Timing out can result from several factors:

    • Inactivity Timeout: If your project is not accessed for a while, Glitch may put it into sleep mode. This can make it seem like it has stopped working.
    • Resource Constraints: Heavy use of resources (CPU, memory), especially by AR experiences that require continuous processing, could also lead to restarts or shutdowns.
    • Errors in Code: Unhandled errors or exceptions within your AR experience could cause the application to crash or stop responding.
    • External Dependencies: If your project relies on external APIs or services that are down or unresponsive, it may lead to failures.

To further diagnose, consider:

  • Checking your usage against the Glitch limits.
  • Monitoring your project’s logs for any error messages right before it fails.

For documentation on deployment and limitations, you can refer to the Needle Engine docs for guidance on optimizing your AR experiences for web hosting: Needle Engine Docs.

If you’re consistently hitting these roadblocks, consider upgrading to a paid Glitch plan for more resources and support.

Let me know if there’s anything else you need!

Hi, this is a glitch topic and Needle Engine does not limit any of your experience.

If the glitch server stays unavailable please make sure that you’re logged into your glitch account when you deploy - glitch allows deployments to be made without being logged in but they automatically delete pages after ~7 days if you don’t login and claim that page during that timeframe if I remember correctly.

If the problem persists please contact the glitch support!

Can you share the link to your glitch page?
