I have a custom skill created for incident form and clicking on the UI OOB skill button does the job but not consistent. It works for some incidents, and it does not work for some.

Update: This seem to be a limitation with tokens as we were using small_v2 llm model for this use case. SN support requested us to limit the RAG data retrieval, truncate and prompt & script optimization to see if this fixes the issue. Waiting for our release to production as lower instances work like a charm.
