ComfyUI & Stable Diffusion error fixes

Pasted an error and just want it fixed? Pick the message you hit. Every page has the cause, the concrete fix, and — when it's a VRAM ceiling — the cheapest GPU that actually holds the model.

Fix

GPU Memory Exhausted

A "CUDA out of memory" error means the model needed more GPU VRAM than the card has. It is almost always a VRAM ceiling, not a bug in your workflow — the same graph runs fine on a bigger GPU.

Fix

Model Not Found

ComfyUI couldn't find the checkpoint/LoRA the workflow references. The filename in the graph doesn't match any file in the models directory — often an exact-name or subfolder mismatch.

Fix

Missing Python Package

A ModuleNotFoundError at ComfyUI startup almost always means a custom node's Python dependency didn't install — the node folder is there, but a package it imports is missing.

Fix

Network Connection Failed

Unable to establish network connection.

Fix

GPU Driver Error

The GPU encountered a driver or runtime error.

Fix

Process Terminated

The process was killed, likely due to memory limits.

Fix

Permission Denied

The operation was blocked due to insufficient permissions.

Fix

Operation Timed Out

The operation took too long to complete.

Fix

Disk Space Exhausted

This is a container DISK limit, not VRAM. Model weights download to the container disk, and large checkpoints (a 62GB LTX-2 or 31GB Z-Image) overflow a small volume before the download finishes.

Fix

Invalid Workflow

The workflow configuration is invalid.

Fix

Gated Model Access

A 401 on a model download means the weights are gated on HuggingFace (FLUX.1-dev, some Llama/Gemma repos) and the download had no accepted-license token. The node isn't missing — the download is being refused.

Fix

API Request Failed

An API request failed with an error response.
