Make sure you have at least 50GB of Runpod **Volume** storage at a minimum so you don't waste training just 1 ckpt that is overtrained and have to start over. Penny pinching on storage is ultimately a waste of your time and money! This is setup to give you more than one ckpt so you don't overtrain.
