I have cloned the repo successfully and pickle file is generated successfully too, but still got this error.

Any idea of how to solve it? Thanks!

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

You don't have the rights to create a space under this namespace

This could mean that the hf_token that you provided is either incorrect or has read access only. Make sure your hf_token has write access too.

Let me know if this doesn't solve it for you.

i have encountered the same problem. i also changed my key into write access yet error still occurs. what to do?

i have the same problem trying to create a repo under my namespace in huggingface from Google Colab. My hub_token has write access according to the log output. No idea why huggingface api still throws the 403: Forbidden error. How can we know the value of the token used in the create_repo function ? Can someone help ?

It turned out that with the later versions of the transformers libraries, it is not enough if you login to huggingface with a valid write token, but you have to pass it as part of TrainingArguments(…) as follows: args = TrainingArguments(…, hub_token=,…) and pass this args when you invoke the SFTTrainer.
For transformers library version 0.44.2, this worked for me.

In my case - write permissions were 100% there. Nothing helped.
what solved the issue is to give "token=..." parameter to each operation, such as create repo / upload_files. Only that helped.
