Hi @ktran1005
It's either a network error or an error on dotnet blob storage side.

How often do you face the issue?

Hi @DenisNikulin5,

I have a pipeline that’s scheduled to run every night. The last time my pipeline failed due to this error was last Wed and couple times last month. I think it didn’t happen a lot but sometimes it does happen randomly . I saw some people suggested to rerun the pipeline to fix this issue. Do you think that’s the only solution? Thanks
