I am using the Render free tier but I am facing an issue, I am able to deploy my backend successfully. but after like 5 mins of inactivity, the URL loads forever. When that happens, I have to redeploy that specific commit, and then it works. this is a very frustrating situation. Can anyone help me, is it only me?
Iām facing the exact same issue. Just migrated from Heroku, Python 3 app. Everything works at first, but after it goes to sleep, the app never comes back. The request keeps going forever. Logs show nothing. Adding the health check path thing didnāt help. It checks once after deployment, says itās ok, and thatās it. Apparently thereās no option to restart the app without redeploying the whole thing too. I could live with the surprisingly slow deployment times, but not if I have to do it all the time.
Same issue with me. If anyone finds a solution, please inform me.
Having the same issue after migrating from heroku server. Tried diagnosing both from application POV and server side but to no avail found anything worthwhile.
I saw Oregon mentioned in another thread reporting something similar, so I deleted the web service and redeployed to Ohio. So far, so good. The appās been to sleep and back, it just took a minute to cold start. If the issueās not resolved soon, it might be a good idea to check if itās only affecting Oregon.

Having the same issue. Hopefully Render will fix it themselves.
I have a Python 3 app, which I migrated from Heroku, and it has been working fine for the past few weeks. It started not responding a few hours ago. Gets temporarily fixed on redeployment, but then goes back down.
This might be the solution cause I have Oregon as my region, How can I change this? It seems like itās disabled
Iām from Poland, I donāt know even where to check regionā¦ I donāt remember If I set region during registrationā¦ Also I have ānever ending loadingā problemā¦ 
10 hours of down time and no response?
To make matters worse, whatever the situation is that we are all experiencing doesnāt seem to be shown on the status page: https://status.render.com/

Hi, few answers earlier is solution. You need to delete service and create new one. Iām doing it now. Iāll use Frankfurt, and Iāll tell you if it works

Same problem. I thought it was just me.
You set it when you create new web service and select region From a Dropdown
I know it now, as you can see on my later answers 
But thanks.
Frankfurt region has the same problem!
or maybe not (itās workingā¦) ā¦ I donāt know whatās happeningā¦ Maybe someone know better deployment? (free)
Changing Regions
We donāt support changing a service or databaseās region at this time. You can always create a new service or database in your desired region.
Good to know, but I donāt think creating a new service is acceptable as a solution - since the same thing could happen tomorrow for the Ohio region.
I choose Frankfurt But I understand your pointā¦ For now, I didnāt find a better solution/deployment

You canĀ“t. When you select on register, you canĀ“t change anymore. I think that itās a flaw for their system.
Having the same problem with Oregon: node service sleeps, but doesnāt spin up again. Sometimes works, but most of the time not.
No official response yet?
you can change region by delete project and take new deploy, read earlier comments
