This error message may persist even after trying standard troubleshooting methods like clearing cache and cookies or logging in through a different browser. It is possible that other users who visit the same page may not see this error, but an admin who is logged in as the reporting user will be able to see it.

An administrator can do this on the user’s behalf while logged in as them.
