What does "Service error: Spreadsheets" mean?

I have a code that works... sometimes... randomly, it stops while running and gives me this error. I am happy to provide code, but I just thought there might be a clear definition of what this error message means. Edit- I have, in fact, added the script below. 

function onOpen() {
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById("0098230948YUIAEr80w9er");
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1")
sheet.clearContents();


sheet.appendRow(["pp","v1", "v2", "v3", "v4", "v5", "v6", "v7", "v8", "v9", "v10", "v11", "v12"]);
sheet.setFrozenRows(1);
 var files = folder.getFiles();
 while (files.hasNext()) {
 var file = files.next();


   var otherSheet= SpreadsheetApp.open(file).getSheetByName("Project Overview");

   var data = otherSheet.getRange("B3:I30").getValues();


 var v1 = data[1][0];
 var v2 = data[2][0];
 var v3 = data[0][0];
 var v4 = data[4][0];
 var v5 = data[5][0];
 var v6 = data[8][0];
 var v7 = data[3][0];
 var v8 = data[14][0];
 var v9 = data[1][7];
 var v10 = data[2][7];
 var v11 = data[3][7];
 var v12 = data[0][7];



var url = file.getUrl(); 
var name = "Site Detail"; 
var semi = ";";  
var hyp = "=hyperlink(\"";
var quot = "\"";
var clos = ")";
var pp = hyp  + url + quot + semi + quot + name + quot + clos;


 if (Status != 'Those' && Status != 'This' && Status != 'That' && Status != 'Other')


{ sheet.appendRow([pp,v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9,v10,v11,v12])

 sheet.sort(2);}

}}

So, changing the script to this worked:

 var files = folder.getFiles();
 while (files.hasNext()) {
 var file = files.next();
 Utilities.sleep(200);

I cannot tell you why, other than that I suspect it allows the script to "catch up" with itself before moving to the next file. I hope this is helpful to someone, and would love if someone could explain to all of us WHY this worked.
