    I have gone through the exact same issue, upgrading to CU 10 got things resolved. Keep in mind that CU 11 is supposed to be released soon.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,

    We have seen this issue one other time. It was resolved by upgrading to the latest release of MR2012 and redeploying the services. Currently, the latest update is CU10:
