We are having an ingestion fail intermittently with a Snowflake S3 load component.

&nbsp;

We receive a few files per day from third party and most of the time the ingestion processes fine, but sometimes we see this error

&nbsp;

"

Parameter Validation Failure:

Authentication - Input required.

Stage - Unrecognised options: {stage\_name}

"

&nbsp;

I am using a place holder for the stage name for this post. I've verified that the stage name is already created in the expected location in Snowflake. I don't believe stage name is the issue because there were ingestion before and after this one that processed successfully.

&nbsp;

The authentication is also configured correctly, the weird thing is that like 20 minutes prior to this failure, the same ingestion for a different file processed successfully.

&nbsp;

Were seeing this issue about 2-3 times per week, the fix is simply rerun the ingestion for the same file.

&nbsp;

Has anyone else encountered this issue before with Matillion and Snowflake?

&nbsp;
