Hi @elon, this error usually indicates that something within the call may cause your transaction to fail. I dont have access to your contract so I cannot say for sure what thay may be, but double check that there are no revert statements or modifiers on the contract which would prevent it from succeeding.

Resolved and this was the exact issue, I was triggering a function outside of a buffer time and needed to increase the time to handle the time it takes to spin up each time the function runs.
