I am having issues with the Amazon Echo skill not always working or very slow response. I checked my logs for the skill and keep getting the following info:

app:102024-01-31 12:05:09.850 AMerrorError making Call to Alexa message gateway: {"header":{"namespace":"System","name":"Exception","messageId":"63a569d4-7316-4d86-9ffc-6715d90c8798"},"payload":{"code":"INVALID_REQUEST_EXCEPTION","description":"com.amazon.iota.container.exception.NoCorrelationSessionFound: No active session found for correlation token : SUdTVEs6AAE6AAg6eyJpZCI6ImMwMjFhMWEzLTJmMDMtNDkxZC04MWZjLWIwOTliMDc4MTJlMyIsInVyaSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZC1hY3JzLW5hLXAtNWQ1LTc4YWY5Y2QzLnVzLWVhc3QtMS5hbWF6b24uY29tOjk0NDQiLCJzZXNzaW9uSWQiOiJkYjIyMTQxYy02ZTVjLTRmZDQtYTlhMi1lOGNkYWVlNjNkMWYifQ=="}}

Any help appreciated. I am using the C-5 hub

I normally see those when Alexa makes an unprompted announcement.

Was troubleshooting this same error today

I was using a 'user' momentary switch with my own method calls which was called by an Alexa Routine. By moving the "on" event to be returned solved the problem. Noticed the same using the native "Virtual Switch" when you have the auto off() function allowed.

Here is my updated Virtual driver for inspection:
