In Salesforce.com, if you create a list view that pulls so much data that you get a timeout and the error message “Time Limit Exceeded” and “Your request exceeded the time limit for processing” you might find yourself stuck as Salesforce.com will use the last view used anytime you access the tab. So how do you break the loop? Do the following simple trick:
- Log in as another user (or get an admin to do these steps for you)
- Click the tab that you are having an issue with
- Click “Create New View”
- Copy Paste the URL
- Log out and use the URL to create and save a new view that returns less records

But probably one of the most frustrating error messages to get with which for a while there seemed to be no way to get around. This error can happen if you have an “Activities” tab which can very easily be set to pull too much data.
