Colab just goes into idle

[ascisciences]

Describe the current behavior
I would like to raise a complaint regarding a recurring issue I've been facing with Google Colab. Recently, I encountered a problem where my Colab notebook goes idle unexpectedly. The runtime remains connected, and the notebook appears to be running as usual, but the code stops executing.

For example, I was attempting to copy and paste 10,000 images from one folder to another. After successfully processing around 200 images, the operation went idle without any indication. The notebook still showed as if the code was running, but no further images were copied to the output folder.

For more context I downloaded these 10k images to local and ran the same piece of code which took me less than 2 mins to split my 10k images into test and train. Now I have been for an hour on google colab and the code is still running with just 114 images in train folder

I experienced a similar issue last week, on December 8th and 9th, and now, exactly one week later, the issue has occurred again.

What web browser you are using
Chrome and Firefox both

again on further analysis found that every time after copying 114 images colab doesnt work anymore. This is weird and frustrating given I have to restart colab session for every set of 114 images

and also session restart doesnt happen normally, I have delete the runtime and start again. If I try to just restart the session I get this
