#### What is the issue or question you have?

I am having issues running the recreation model. Previously it was pulling TUD and PUD fine, but then error out: ERROR Exception while executing recreation Traceback (most recent call last):

Now it is not running and giving a connection error:  
[WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I have the updated invest software: **3.17.2**

I also have tried running with a very small AOI and that did not fix the issues. Any ideas how to be able to run the model?

Hi @ktmanley, welcome to the forum! I’m sorry you’ve been having issues with the recreation model. The server that model relies on did experience some downtime earlier this week; you may have simply had the bad luck of trying to run the model during that time. It should be resolved now. Please try again, and then let us know if you still run into problems. Thanks!
