In some cases, the resuming mechanism may fail, causing queries to be paused "forever".

The error can occur, if following conditions are met

  • Queries often are in WAIT_FOR_COMMIT state
  • Many queries are running simultaneously
  • Resource manager pauses and resumes queries

Workaround

  • Killing the affected query clears the problem.
  • If the resource manager stops pausing queries, the deadlock resolves itself.
