Anybody know if any back end changes happened to Dynamo today?
No system changes on my side but halfway through today Dynamo became UN-Usable. 10-15 minutes for any and every action. Nothing I tried made any difference, until eventually on one of my restarts, Revit asked me to re-sign in, and I had to agree to new terms and conditions. After that, it is lightning fast. Load times for my graphs feel way faster than usual.
Just sayin… this feels really odd.
Was this Dynamo for Revit or sandbox?
If Revit, check the journal from that session for odd lines, and the Dynamo log as well.
Hey Jacob,
Honestly, I’m not really sure. Doesn’t appear to be any odd messages in the journal:
In this journal example you can see Dynamo being launched from the ribbon at around 2.49 pm, and then I finally decided to give up and kill Revit at around 3.47 pm after achieving nothing. That was me trying to open a graph, but never made it as far as getting the workspace able to place a node, each step in the sequence took ages between allowing me to click anything

The Dynamo log for the same timeframe certainly seems odd to me, but since I can’t say I’ve ever opened a dynamo log before today… who knows i could be wrong

“'edit - sorry forgot to mention- this was Dynamo for Revit.
Also worth mentioning, I’m not overly fussed right now, I’m back to working fine. Lost a few hours but not the end of the world. I was just more curious about any changes that might have occurred that made me log out/in and accept the new license agreement and then everything was great again. Don’t stress about it”

Dynamo uses UTC, Revit uses the local system time.
My guess is it was an authentication issue (hence the sign in), or network issue. Can’t confirm though.
Yeah, no stress
