Commonly, this error occurs when:
1. The user account used by the UiPath Robot is forcibly logged off during the execution of the process.
2. The computer the UiPath Robot is running on is manually shut down or restarted during the execution of the process.

To account for this, ensure the stability of both the user session and the computer throughout the execution of the job.

Less often, this error occurs when there is a drop of the WCF communication channel between executor and service due to exceeded WCF message size.
