Hi,

Is it possible that you had rotated the Perforce server's SSL certificates before this error started to occur? If that was the case, you could need to set p4 trust as indicated here:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/perforce.html#Other+Settings

If the SSL certificate on the Perforce server is renewed, the agents need to be configured to trust this new certificate with the help of a special parameter. For security reasons, this parameter needs to be removed after all agents have checked out the sources. Set the teamcity.internal.perforce.forceTrust=true configuration parameter to the related project or build configuration.

It is also worth mentioning there are some known issues of this property being ignored in some cases, that have been fixed in version 2026.1:
