I have completed all the labs except Week 2. When I open it, it shows “lab hours exceeded.” When I click Start, the AWS status turns yellow and red. I tried many times but the same issue persists and the lab is not launching.
You are right, the Coursera labs are hosted on AWS partner Vocareum. I also cannot access any of the labs now, though they worked fine when I finished the course a few months back.
It appears this isn’t a bug in the lab itself, but rather a time limit.
The “lab hours exceeded” message usually means the session has simply reached its quota and can’t resume normally. That’s why the yellow/red status appears at startup—the environment doesn’t have time or isn’t allowed to fully launch.
Hi Arman. Sorry this might have been buried in my notifs. If you can fill out the lab issue report form with your details, we might be able to resolve the issue.
Hi, and welcome to the Forum! That’s possible. Launching the lab again from Coursera might grant them another attempt. If another error message is shown, they can fill out this form. Thanks.
