google/flan-t5-large · 503 Server Error: Service Unavailable for model 'google/flan-t5-large'

Hello Hugging Face community,

I am experiencing a 503 Server Error: Service Unavailable when trying to interact with the model google/flan-t5-large using the Hugging Face Inference API.

Steps to Reproduce:

I am using the following model in my code:

url = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/google/flan-t5-large"

I send a POST request to the API with a payload:
```
{
    "inputs": "my prompt here"
}
```

The response I receive is:

HTTP error occurred: 503 Server Error: Service Unavailable for url: https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/google/flan-t5-large

Expected Behavior:

The model should return predictions.

Actual Behavior:

I am receiving a 503 Server Error: Service Unavailable, indicating that the service is temporarily down or unavailable.

Environment:

API endpoint: https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/google/flan-t5-large
Token used: 'xxxxx'
Model: google/flan-t5-large
Programming language: Python
Library used: requests

Additional Notes:

I have verified the token and the API endpoint, and both appear to be correct.
I have tested with other models, but this issue seems specific to google/flan-t5-large.
I am able to reproduce the issue consistently.

Could anyone assist with resolving this issue or provide guidance on what might be causing this error?
