Failed to commit the metadata change, please try again later

Hi,

I've been getting the error message Failed to commit the metadata change, please try again later. for the last 2 days.  It occurs when I run a stored procedure I've created.  The SP was running fine up to a couple of days ago.

I tried to clear the error by dropping the stored procedure and recreating it.  I got the same error message when I tried to drop it.  However, when I refreshed the web page I found the stored procedure had been dropped.  I recreated the stored procedure and ran it again.  However, the same error message popped up.

I cannot find anything on the web about it.  Anyone know what it means and how I stop it.

Thanks,

Fergus

I've not seen that particular error message before. Have you raised a support request with Microsoft?

Andy,

I found one answer to it all the way back in 2021 and nothing since.

However, I wake up this morning and go back in and the error is gone.  Let's hope it stays that way.

Thanks,

Fergus
