What causes “Script execution resource limit or timeout exceeded”

Everything runs just fine, then periodically (rarely) I get a series of errors: Script execution resource limit or timeout exceeded

What resource limit could I be hitting?

Thanks.

Forgot to include: I sent POSTs approximately every 4 minutes. In this case, the POST/Script at 2018-8-12 2:58:34 515 ran just fine and took 195 msec. The next POST/Script fired at 2018-8-12 3:2:33 134 and took 12310 msec (12.3 seconds). It all runs the same code, and there are no loops that would (ever) account for this. The following 5 POST/Script requests get the same error, then things go back to normal.

Hi Ira,

The resource limit error that you’re getting is because a script execution has a maximum lifetime of 5 seconds, after which the script is automatically killed.

Requests between 2018-08-12 02:59:16 and 2018-08-12 03:05:00 (GMT) took longer due a performance degradation that we detected during these 6 minutes, but that was temporary, so you shouldn’t be facing this problem anymore.

Cheers!
Julien
