Sandbox is your new secret friend in Deadline! All the background info is nicely summarised in this blog post from back in Nov 2016:

Essentially, unless your getting a large or regular number of these reports, I would say there is nothing to worry about here and Sandbox is doing its job perfectly for you. :slight_smile:

(I I had to take a guess, I would probably say if you have a custom event plugin which perhaps isn’t performing as optimally as it could or there is some potentially bad code path in it, that could cause the Sandbox to collapse as it protects you).
