agent timed out waiting for Khoros API response while trying to audit

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in watched words audit agent by acting on the exact problem first: check Khoros for results the slow request may still have produced, split the audit by board so each request covers one board, and add a per request time check that records progress board by board instead of one request for the whole community. Do not rerun the whole job or queue unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one post, thread, report or batch first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent timed out waiting for Khoros API response while trying to audit watched words

Use this when

• The operation in watched words audit agent fails with this exact message or symptom: agent timed out waiting for Khoros API response while trying to audit watched words.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Moderation, routing, auditing or a member facing community task is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a moderation judgment or content quality. That is a policy review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in watched words audit agent, and copy the full message plus the post, thread, report or member involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: check Khoros for results the slow request may still have produced, split the audit by board so each request covers one board, and add a per request time check that records progress board by board instead of one request for the whole community. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named post, thread or report behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring posts, threads, reports or members that share the same setting, rule or workflow, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in watched words audit agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in watched words audit agent so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

One request spanning every board in a large Khoros community can run longer than the client waits, and the audit loses all of its progress because nothing was recorded per board.

How to fix - agent timed out waiting for Khoros API response while trying to audit watched words error timeout failure slow

The how to phrasing for the same failure in watched words audit agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different item, treat that item as a new instance, record its scope separately, and apply the same steps rather than widening the first fix blindly.
• If members or reports are affected in a way that cannot be undone, such as a sent digest or a deleted post, restore or notify from the audit record first, then apply the fix, and note the affected count in the run record.
• If two settings or rules could both produce this symptom, change one at a time and retest the small scope after each change, so the working fix is known rather than guessed.

Compatibility: watched words audit agent at current versions, plus the admin console, moderation queue or API the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent run to search systems for a requester's personal data by doing this first: split the job to search systems for a requester's personal data into per-source chunks with a checkpoint after each chunk, raise the per-call timeout for the slow source, and resume from the last checkpoint instead of restarting the whole run. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent timed out while trying to search systems for a requester's personal data

Use this when

• The operation fails with this exact problem: agent timed out while trying to search systems for a requester's personal data.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An audit, review, or request is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a platform outage notice or a general sign-in failure. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the agent run to search systems for a requester's personal data, and copy the full message plus the item, account, or request involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in an old log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: split the job to search systems for a requester's personal data into per-source chunks with a checkpoint after each chunk, raise the per-call timeout for the slow source, and resume from the last checkpoint instead of restarting the whole run. Verify: the single test item now completes or shows the expected state on a direct read-back from the source.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same connection, mapping, owner, or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions, or statuses against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign-off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input, and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied, and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

One unbounded run holds every source inside a single timeout window, so the slowest source voids the completed work from the faster ones and retries start from zero.

Fix this in Circle API digest publish by acting on the exact problem first: check whether the digest post was actually created in Circle before retrying, because a slow response can hide a successful post, then republish only the missing parts and add a status check after each slow call instead of waiting on one long request.

Why it happens

A timed out request may still complete on the server, so retrying blindly duplicates the digest, while abandoning it leaves members with no digest at all.
