There were multiple reasons I faced this issue one was VPN connection from home , when you dont have proper ssh connection to the controller from your desktop/jumpserver to your end controller it throws this issue ,

sometimes when you do a .get command it cant find the values if quota report has empty variables try using getattr to set values of unset variables to zero or null

try get collection command

quots = quotareport.get_collection(vol.uuid)

for quotx in quots :
quotx.get(fields='specifier,volume,space,qtree,files,index,qtree ')
