This error started popping up recently on any page Standard Skuid page(see screenshot) or custom developed Skuid page. After refreshing page 2-3 times it goes away.


There is no extra information available, however from the error description it seems Salesforce is notifying internally to Skuid.



I have Skuid version: 12.2.14 installed

Salesforce org is on Spring’20

Good morning Bhupendra, thanks for alerting us of this issue.  

  • What Salesforce instance is this org on?
Other clients have been reporting the same issue and I believe there may be an underlying incident occurring with some Salesforce CS instances.  We’ve escalated this issue appropriately and will keep you posted as soon as we know more.


Hi Anna,

Thanks for the response.

This is occurring currently on CS17 instance for which trust.salesforce.com says up and running.


Hi Bhupendra, thanks for the quick reply. Salesforce did just report an ongoing performance degradation https://status.salesforce.com/incidents/5368. So far NA44 is the only instance listed as affected but they will update it as they confirm other instances are affected.  

On the Skuid side we’ll keep you posted when we have more information and once we’ve confirmed the cause of the issue you’re experiencing.


  • Update: We have opened a case with Salesforce reporting this issue and marked the severity as urgent.

  • To give this issue more visibility, please open your own case with Salesforce and grant them login access to your org.  Feel free to use the text below as a template.

  • Please email support@skuid.com with your org id so we can add it to our list of affected orgs.

Thanks Anna for prompt responses and taking it up with Salesforce. I will raise separate case with Salesforce also.


You’re welcome, and thanks to you too, Bhupendra.
