Public Folder Migration from Exchange 2007 to 2013 fails RelinquishedWlmStall budget limitations

I have been trying to migrate approx 50 public folders from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 for several months.  I have followed every link I can find on how to do the migration properly.  It will stay in a queued state for hours until the MRS is restarted.  It will then start copying messages.  After reaching 28% I get RelinquishedWlmStall as Status Detail.  Running the Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | fl command I get the following: (truncated)

It never tries to restart.  Can anyone please help?  The server checks for health all come back ok.   I will be more than glad to include further information.

Hi,

Basic on the error message, I notice that public folder migrate slow and display that Relinquishing job because of large delays due to unfavorable server health or budget limitations .
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Since it is just slow and not failing, please do not stop the batch, it might connect to another server for sync.
Meanwhile, please refer to below link so that get details about Exchange Online migration performance and best practices:

If the issue persists, please collect the relevant migration report for further troubleshooting.

Thanks

The database needed to be re-indexed.  It got itself confused somehow.
