Symptoms

After creating a Support Zip, the following appears in the Bitbucket Server UI:

1 Your request timed out. Please try again. If you're sending a support request, please check your mail settings.
(Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)

Cause

This is a bug on the Support Tools Plugin for when the Support Zip is too big: ATST-141 - Misleading message on creating support tools..

Resolution

Although that message is reported by the plugin, the file is generated within your $BITBUCKET_HOME/export directory. Please monitor this directory as the file is built in memory and written to the disk in one go - thus you'll notice the file with 0 bytes size until the plugin is finished.
