  The SAP error message M2893, which states "Performance settings currently locked by user &," typically occurs when a user is trying to access or modify performance settings in the SAP system that are currently locked by another user. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a user is in the process of making changes to the settings or if a previous session did not close properly.
