I get multiple "Drawing Alert: General Function Failure" messages every day. And if the affected layer is one I am currently working on then it doesn't show on the map, and I can't save any edits I have made.

Closing and reopening Pro solves the error, but sometimes it's only 10 minutes before it happens again.

I found a post for ArcMap, but it doesn't really get into the root cause and how to fix it.

ArcMap Drawing Error: General Function Failure - Esri Community

*** EDIT ***

it appears to be an issue with the server. If I copy the files to my local machine then this issue doesn't happen. (But that is a pain, and likely something will get lost in the shuffle.) So it is NOT an esri issue..

Thanks for that Carson, hopefully that should point them in the right direction.
