I have a few notebooks that run nightly to backup my field data. I have 2 distinct groups of feature services, and each has a notebook for csv export and file gdb backup. So, 4 notebooks in total that have been successfully running sine November of 2025. The notebooks loop through items in an AGOL group and export them.
As of early AM Monday, my 2 file gdb notebooks fail to complete (they time out while exporting a larger gdb). My first thought was a particular feature was corrupted and failing to export, but since the exports are failing on different hosted feature services, that doesn't seem plausible. So, I updated the runtimes for all notebooks to python 13 (standard), with no improvement. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
Some more background:
- I query only a subset of features (last 30 days) to keep the backup size manageable. So, I'm not trying to export gigantic datasets.
- I have some smaller datasets that succeed, but when the script hits a "larger" dataset it seems to hang.
- The notebooks replaced python scripts that were running nightly on a desktop for 5+ years, so I'm not in uncharted territory. These workflows work, but something has changed and impacted the success.
- I'm trying a manual export to file gdb from survey123.com, I will report back if/when that finishes.
- I will also try the old python scripts to see if they succeed.
