0 gpu available
currently i can't assign a gpu to my pod. will i get the option to at a later point when some free up or is my pod doomed?

You can wait, but could be waiting days or weeks, so its probably better to create a new pod.
FAQ | RunPod Documentation
RunPod offers two cloud computing services: Secure Cloud and Community Cloud. Secure Cloud provides high-reliability, while Community Cloud offers peer-to-peer GPU computing. On-Demand Pods run continuously, while Spot Pods use spare compute capacity.
thanks for the quick reply y'all. i read that faq and couldn't quite understand it but i appreciate @digigoblin for clearing that up. welp there goes my morning ðŸ«
is it based on availability? i assume not since i can start a new pod with the same model gpu. what happened over night to kick me off?
Yes
hmm a way to explain this is runpod has multiple computers
your pod is one computer with 8x gpus or less or more
so there are other computers, but your current pod that you can start with 0 gpus, its gpus are rented out
In general, I always:
1) Have a network volume attached if you want to persist data and its large
2) Try to use a third party service to back the data vs network volume so I don't get locked in a region. I personally use firebase file storage as I have scripts to upload it to there and download it back.
