Possibly the server part of the playground is not running properly.

It could either be it hasn't started correctly and needs another start attempt. Retry the steps here to start the plutus-playground-server <https://docs.plutus-community.com/> *(or if you're on a new mac, take a look here: <https://github.com/renzwo/cardano-plutus-apps-install-m1>)*. The server needs to be kept running in parallel in a separate window while using the playground.

Or I found a very old issue that suggests it could also be related to your disk being full: <https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus/issues/1243>. So that might be worth checking also.
