I receive this error message intermittently when I run a query against a storage account from SSMS. It works most of the time but at certain times, it fails. I find it's been failing a lot more now than before and I know it's not a permissions-related issue. Sometimes I copy the query to a new session and it works right away at times it fails in a new session but 5-10 mins later it works like it never threw an error initially.

It could help to see the query... It would also be good to see the output of "SELECT @@version".

Thanks for asking about the query. I doubt this is the issue. This query works 90% of the time. its an intermittent failure taking place here. it runs same query all the time. That same query when copied and pasted into another ssms session will then work. Though having said that, at times it wont work for 5-10 mins. I suspect more Network related issue and I have always put it to that until recently when it started to do that more and more. as in a couple of times a day. I cant find anything in the logs that indicate a Network blip but that could as well be the issue still

I asked about the query and the output of "SELECT @@version" to get some context for your question. If you don't want to share it, it is up to you. But it is up to me, whether I want to offer any speculations of what I know so far.

I think you misinterpret my hesitation; but all well and good.

select @@version is below
