ColabFold MSA server error in AlphaFold2.ipynb

Expected Behavior

ColabFold MSA server returns results

Current Behavior

raise Exception(f'MMseqs2 API is giving errors. Please confirm your input is a valid protein sequence. If error persists, please try again an hour later.')

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

go to https://colab.research.google.com/github/sokrypton/ColabFold/blob/main/AlphaFold2.ipynb
keep all default values except for 'query_sequence', which is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLAAA"

ColabFold Output (for bugs)

Reproduce the failure in AlphaFold2.ipynb using the provided query sequence and default settings. Then trace the reported path through batch.py and colabfold.py, especially run_mmseqs2 at line 231, to determine whether the error is in the notebook flow or the MMseqs2 API interaction. Done means the sequence returns MSA results or the external-service failure is clearly characterized.
