Complete HF newbee here. Pro sub. Using Claude code.
I see a public space that I want to clone into my own space and I asked Claude to do it. Claude is telling me that it is failing to create my own space due to 1GB storage limit. He is also telling me that the limit should be higher for Pro subs but he is encountering the error. He advise working with support.
This seems to be super basic.
Q1: is this is known issue?
Q2: What is the simplest, most sure-fire way to clone a public space to my own (which is also public)?
Thank you!

Hi @amirnetz ! Space repos are typically used to showcase projects or demos and are designed to only contain code, which is why they have a 1GB size limit.
Data files can easily be loaded from other Hub repo types (models, datasets) if you have a Gradio app. The Hub Python client library allows for a straightforward process to load datasets into your Gradio Space. More information can be found here: https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/index.
Another option is creating a repo for your Space repository: https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/guides/repository#repo-creation-and-deletion and using your Inference Endpoints instead of Spaces.
the limit should be higher for Pro subs
Yes! PRO subscribers like you have more storage for your model and dataset repos. More info here: Storage limits
