Hi there

Custom SharePoint Job has been running for few months as expected. Now it throws the below exception.

Help appreciated in resolving the issue.

The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerRecycleJobDefinition (ID 357686b2-c97a-4d12-9c82-6511f79a79d4) threw an exception. More information is included below.

The timer service was not recycled because the following jobs were still running: Audit Log Trimming

Hi Raju,

From the error message, seems that the Timer Service Recycle job conflicts with other long-running timer jobs. 

Change the schedule for the Timer Service Recycle job so that it does not conflict with other long-running timer jobs.       

On the Central Administration Home page, click Monitoring->Review job definitions->Timer Service Recycle->On the Edit Timer Job page, change the schedule so that it does not conflict with other long-running timer jobs, and then click OK.
