esptool.FatalError: Timed out waiting for packet header Arduino

Question

I have a ESP8266. The last working state was loading just fine and wasn't getting any errors on esptool. However, after coming back to the code and running the Arduino. To give some background, I am creating a nixie clock with ESP8266.

esptool.FatalError: Timed out waiting for packet header

It's currently on baud: 57600 I will add the full error below:

Hopefully someone can help out or give me some knowledge as to why this has occurred. Thanks in advance!
