IOPub data rate exceeded in Jupyter notebook (when viewing image)

Try this:

jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=1.0e10

Or this:

yourTerminal:prompt> jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=1.0e10 

I ran into this using networkx and bokeh

This works for me in Windows 7 (taken from here):

1. To create a jupyter_notebook_config.py file, with all the defaults commented out, you can use the following command line:

   $ jupyter notebook --generate-config

2. Open the file and search for c.NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit

3. Comment out the line c.NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit = 1000000 and change it to a higher default rate. l used c.NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit = 10000000

This unforgiving default config is popping up in a lot of places. See git issues:

• jupyter

• IOPub data rate exceeded

It looks like it might get resolved with the 5.1 release

Update:

Jupyter notebook is now on release 5.2.2. This problem should have been resolved. Upgrade using conda or pip.

Removing print statements can also fix the problem.

Apart from loading images, this error also happens when your code is printing continuously at a high rate, which is causing the error "IOPub data rate exceeded". E.g. if you have a print statement in a for loop somewhere that is being called over 1000 times.
