DestinationAccessException: Failed to get destination.

[petyasabeva]

Hi,

we have a customer that is using CloudSDK to retrieve a destination.

private static final HttpDestination destination = DestinationAccessor.getDestination("<destination_name>").asHttp();

They reported that the issue occurred on:
・January 20, 2026, 00:22 UTC
・January 20, 2026, 05:16 UTC
・January 20, 2026, 08:31 UTC

According to the destination service logs, on:

• January 20, 2026 00:21:28 UTC: the request to /destination-configuration/v1/destinations/<destination_name> took 8 ms and the status code is 200
• January 20, 2026, 05:15:31 UTC: the request to /destination-configuration/v1/destinations/<destination_name> took 8 ms and the status code is 200
• January 20, 2026, 08:31 UTC: couldn't find any log around this time. Between 08:20 UTC and 08:35 UTC the only request reached the destination service is at 08:29:31 UTC and with response time in ms 8 and status code 200.

Also, the customer attached the following error:

Can you check on your side?

How can a static destination be retrieved more than 1 time?
Can you check the at <some customer code> part?

If the timelimiter itself is blocking you, the threshold (default: 6s) can be changed:

DestinationService loader =
  DestinationService
    .builder()
    .withTimeLimiterConfiguration(TimeLimiterConfiguration.of(Duration.ofMinutes(100)))
    .build();

Try<Destination> destination = loader.tryGetDestination("foo");

If the destination service claims no request was received, then the connection was likely not established:

• maybe connection pool full -> requests are not fully consumed and connection are dangling open. it takes longer than 6s until the pool releases one idle connection.

Please do not use static Destination references, when a token is attached that may expire over time.

@petyasabeva The original SNOW ticket contains the error occurring during class initialization.
The reason is the destination being requested in static context
Do not do that. Please change that as mentioned in my original response.
During class loading and startup time, the application is slow and deprioritizes the destination lookup, causing the timelimiter to throw exception.

[newtork]

@oemlerm Please create a new issue, including your VCAP_SERVICES or destinations environment variable

We face the exactly same issue

No, you are reporting a different stacktrace / error cause.

@newtork I am from the destination service team and opened this GitHub issue on behalf of the customer.
