ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘message’ - Q&A

[labdmitriy]

Hello,

We found the issue in one of the short courses, and I sent 2 requests using Contact Us form, but there are no replies, so I will duplicate URL of the thread with the issue, reason and possible workaround here:

ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'message' - Q&A

Hello @elirod, @indiaj27, I think I found the reason of our error, the requests are rejected either by some proxy logic of the deeplearning.ai platform or by Vertex AI API itself. The original error is “{“message”: “quota exceed for /google/embedding/textembedding-gecko@001”}”, but because of some platform’s custom logic in vertexai library, only the key (“message”) is displayed for us. And also there is a 429 error (“Too many requests”) in HTTP response which also confirms the assumption. B…

Could you please tell if this issue is confirmed and will be resolved?
Otherwise some users (including me) can’t pass this course at all using current account.

Thank you.
