Troubleshooting

Resolve connection problems and check why a speech request is slow or rejected.

The walkthrough does not finish

Cause: cloud-init has not finished, or you are still ssm-user.

Fix: wait for cloud-init, then:

sudo -iu ubuntu bash /opt/sushi/docs/demo.sh

You cannot reach port 8094

Cause: the tunnel is not running. Session Manager does not need an inbound rule, and an inbound rule is not how the listing tells you to connect.

Fix: start the forward in Open port 8094 and leave it open. Read the access file from /opt/sushi/docs/README.md. Do not print the token.

Speech is slow

Cause: t3.large is the evaluation size. The listing says it is slower than c7i.2xlarge.

Fix: use c7i.2xlarge with at least 64 GiB of encrypted gp3 storage when you need the recommended speed. The software rate on the listing is USD 0.03 per hour for both sizes. EC2 cost still differs.

A sentence is rejected

Cause: the service generates one English sentence at a time, from a 6 to 8 second sample you are allowed to use.

Fix: shorten the text to one sentence and confirm the sample length. Details of the request body are in the image notes.
