Hi Everyone,
I am repeatedly encountering the following error while creating a Recommendation model (Click-through Rate – CTR):
“INSUFFICIENT_TRAINING_DATA: Recommendation model recommende_recommende_1764045516650 cannot be trained because of insufficient data.”
I have tried creating the model and its serving configs multiple times, but the model fails every time when it reaches the training stage. I have verified the dataset and confirmed that all required data and minimum thresholds are met.
I have also attached screenshots for your reference.
Could you please look into this issue and provide a proper solution? I am unable to find any clear guidance, and this is blocking further progress.
