How to automatically find the batch size when using Accelerate with FSDP2? [D]

Hi, For single-GPU training, I’m using Hugging Face SFTTrainer with auto_find_batch_size=True, which automatically reduces the batch size after a CUDA OOM until it finds a batch size that works. I would like to have similar behavior when training on multiple GPUs on a single node using accelerate launch with FSDP2. Is there a supported way to automatically determine or reduce the batch size when using Accelerate + FSDP2? In particular, I’m wondering how this should be handled when one of the distributed processes encounters a CUDA OOM. Can Accelerate restart the distributed training with a sma
