Edit something
Save

What happens?:

Database error
To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (3.5568377971649) exceeded the 3 second limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead.

I only ran into this once, doing it again seems to be fine.
