&lt;br /&gt;
We have faced such kind of issues. In our case it was resolved automatically when server is free to take the request. I think you might already aware of that most of the appian expression rule or function calls are API calls. Sometimes it may happen that the server was bust to take the request that you get this error. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just wanted to ask you few queries. &lt;br /&gt;
1) How frequently you get this kind of error?&lt;br /&gt;
2)  Is there any specific time frame where you get this kind of error in the day?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
