What happened

A script runs with a limit on the CPU time it may use. When it goes over, the sandbox stops it and answers with this code. detail names the cap that tripped (cpu_ms), how much the script used and how much was allowed. The caps differ for a chart and for a run, and the code sandbox section of the Limits page lists them.

What to do

Do less work per call: compute over fewer bars, and avoid Python loops over every bar where a built-in indicator or a series operation does the same job.
