• The Table reporting framework has a time-out limitation of 5 minutes
• The report fails with the error since it took more than the defined time limit
• Such errors may be caused by a temporary inconsistency with the Report Server communication

There could be multiple reasons for such errors to occur - Table report size, complexity or some issues with the report server communication.

• The issue occurs only with specific reports and they work at the preview screen and Run Offline,
  but not online or via export to excel.
  This report job is killed by the server since it kept running for more than 5 minutes.
  Please use the 'Run Offline' option.
  
  If you wish to Run it Online only, you could try reducing the report's runtime by modifying it.
  For example, adding/Removing filters, Use 'Team View' instead of 'Other Filters', etc.,
  
  
• If the issue occurs with all Table reports independent of the complexity or output size, please refer KBA 2219570 and Report an case with the error and timestamp details.
