My timeline: at 02/Jul/2009:08:40:59 -0700: my memcache calls starting failing at 02/Jul/2009:09:24:49 -0700: I started receiving google.appengine.api.datastore_errors.Timeout at 02/Jul/2009:10:38:54 -0700: I started receiving google.appengine.runtime.apiproxy_errors.Error at 02/Jul/2009:11:30:36 -0700: I stopped receiving these errors at 02/Jul/2009:11:56:08 -0700: I started getting CapabilityDisabledExceptions at 02/Jul/2009:12:07:23 -0700: Operations resumed normally This doesn't seem to match what was expected by Google. Can anyone tell me what was going on? Jonathan On Jul 3, 8:58 am, "Jeff S (Google)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for the feedback Jerason.
