Good morning Dan,
Thanks very much for the explanation. Is there a Phabricator task we can upvote (award a token?) to make this issue more visible?
As always, we really appreciate your help with this.
Best, Amanda

Sorry for the trouble, Amanda. The problem is solely with the underlying database, which we don't maintain. It's a sanitized replica of all the changes being made to all the wikis so it's a fairly complicated piece of infrastructure that sometimes has problems. The folks who maintain it are aware of the issues, but we'll continue representing them until they're solved.

Oop, thanks for the ping, Nuria. Wikimetrics seems to be working better now. I still get failures, especially when running three or four reports in one batch, but the reports work if you rerun them (sometimes a couple times.)
I'm still getting "PENDING"s that turn into "FAILURE"s sometimes, which I just noticed for the first time last Thursday. Also, sometimes the "FAILURE"s change position in the Current Report Inbox list, moving up or down a spot. Not sure if that helps diagnose what might be happening...
In any case, Wikimetrics is mostly functioning but seems to be having recurring troubles that sometimes blow up to freeze the whole tool. It would be great to resolve the troubles before the next explosion--is there anything I can do to help? Dan H and I still have plenty of reports to run, we can keep you updated on the reports ran and failure rate while you are fixing, if that would be useful.
Many thanks, Amanda

Amanda,
Looks like wikimetrics was able to run automatic reports last night w/o big issues, are your reports still failing?
Thanks,
Nuria

DB connections in labs look to be failing, unfortunately I think besides asking for help on the labs list there is not much we can do there. I will start a thread on this regard.
Thanks,
