There seems to be not a single sample in your epoch_iterator, stopping training at step 0! This is expected if you're using an IterableDataset and set num_steps (5000000) higher than the number of available samples
Hello, I’m using Trainer API, and I got this error:***** Running training *****
  Num examples = 80000000
  Num Epochs = 9223372036854775807
  Instantaneous batch size per device = 8
  Total train batch size (w. parallel, distributed & accumulation) = 16
  Gradient Accumulation steps = 1
  Total optimization steps = 5000000

This is expected if you're using an IterableDataset and set num_steps (5000000) higher than the number of available samples.My TrainerArgument is likeTrainingArguments(

        fp16_opt_level='01',
        sharded_ddp='zero_dp_3 auto_wrap',
        dataloader_num_workers=8,The error says that there are too many steps, but in my iterabledataset, I didn’t setlen(). I don’t know where does the Trainer get the number of samples, anyone has idea? Thanks.

Hey, did you maybe able to solve it or figure what was the problem causing this issue?I’m facing the same issue here.

I also ran into this. Turns out I had a filter that was actually removing all the samples. Make sure you’re actually getting data returned from your dataset.
