We need your whole settings to debug this.
Right, so this complaint has cropped up a few times in discord. I think ironi is correct in their diagnosis of the problem being that there are too many auras installed to correctly load them inside of the (presumably strict) script timeout, at least with our current strategy.
The lazy answer is "eh you probably don't actually need that many auras installed", which I do think is true! But perhaps we can do something to be a bit smarter about which auras to scan on ENCOUNTER_START.
Well I suspect that this is caused by the lazy aura creation I did for DF, and when an encouter starts regions get created. Apparently though, based on the debug information, auras not relevant for the encounter get created and apparently aura creation is too slow.
We can easily simulate an encounter start and check which auras get created.
We (that is rivers) have a tool now which can also do a more fine-grained profiling of the region creation process.
But for both we need an actual complete set of auras from someone affected. So far this bug reports lacks that data.
Is there an existing issue for this?
Description
Sometimes when pulling a (raid) boss for the first time, WA throws script run too long error, resulting on WA's not working for current pull. I saw the same error earlier this expansion, but after removing old auras with encounter load, the problem disappeared, now with S4 and the "need" for 3 raid tier auras, it appeared again. (i havent paid enough attention to say for sure if its just encounter auras that break, i don't use too many auras without encounter load)
Error provided is from pulling Sarkareth (relevant(?) because the error comes from Magmorax wa with correct encounter id) Not tested with just WeakAuras enabled

Lua Error
Reproduction Steps
I only remember seeing this happen on last bosses of a raid (raszageth, sarkareth, fyrakk), (combination of vast amount of auras for single boss + total amount of encounter auras?), but i havent seen it enough to call it easily reproducible
