How do I fix 'asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop'?

How it was checked: Standard asyncio behavior per the Python docs.

Fix

You're already inside an event loop (Jupyter, IPython, FastAPI handlers, async frameworks). Inside async code, just await the coroutine instead of calling asyncio.run(). In a notebook, use top-level await (result = await main()). From sync code running inside a loop's thread, schedule with asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(coro, loop) or move the work to async. nest_asyncio is a last-resort patch, not a fix.
