DagsterUserCodeUnreachableError: Timed out waiting for call to user code GET_EXTERNAL_SENSOR_EXECUTION_DATA
Last updated: October 9, 2025
Problem
Logs show an error of:
DagsterUserCodeUnreachableError: Timed out waiting for call to user code GET_EXTERNAL_SENSOR_EXECUTION_DATA
Possible cause
This error usually means the agent is timing out before it can serve the sensor request. It often indicates some kind of resource limit being hit in the agent pod specifically—for example, not enough CPU or not enough threads to work with. It can also indicate that it hit some error preventing it from sending a response.
Solution
In the 1.7.6 agent release, you can set the
agentMetrics.enabledflag to give you more detailed metrics to help with debugging.
