Hi,

You might want open a case with support for this error.

There are existing cases with the same error message linked to bugs that are related to memory leak issues.

Through a case we can identify if you are hitting the same issue. 

Useridd memory usage is reaching a critical threshold and is restarted as a result in order to normalise the memory usage.

Monitoring the useridd memory usage over time will show you if this usage increased gradually or if there was a sudden spike.

Kind regards,

-Kim.
