Hi everyone,\nI'm currently participating in the competition. This is my first time doing a Notebook-only competition, and I’ve unfortunately exhausted my weekly 30-hour GPU quota while debugging and training.\nI noticed that Kaggle doesn't seem to have a \"Buy more hours\" button. Is there any way to purchase additional compute units, or perhaps a workaround to continue my work before the weekly reset?\nAlso, for those who are experienced in Notebook competitions, how do you manage your 30-hour limit effectively? Any tips on optimizing the workflow (e.g., training offline vs. inference on Kaggle) would be greatly appreciated.\nThank you for your help!
