What issue are you seeing?
The thread is uploaded. The work keeps stopping even when there are clear instructions to only stop upon reaching a certain point that hasn't been reached. The model doesn't really know why it has stopped early and isn't able to correct this behaviour. it wasn't happening earlier today, not sure what is causing this. i have to keep manually telling it to continue.
