Thanks Thanet for looking into it. I'm working with Ashley. And we've been use this way to get customer id for a long time and just recently that we noticed that we got UnKnownException from Adwards for this call. Nothing was changed on our end. So can you please help check why we are getting UnknownException. BTW, not all the request failed. Actually only 2% of the requests got UnknownException error. Thanks a lot for your help!
