"Clear Trusted Cache" breaks REST Services

Listed in the version 2016.0.0.297996 Issues Fixed doc

Verification notes: verified_fixed on September 04, 2019 using build 2016.0.01.298513

Problem Description:
When performing a "clear template Cache" Operation in the Administrator or via Admin-API the REST Service responds to further requests with a 500 internal server error until you press the refresh-button on the rest-service.
This turns Rest-Services into something unuseable for us, as we are running our production machines with trusted cache turned on.
Copying a new file to the server and clearing the trusted cache would cause the rest-api to stop working - NOT acceptable!

Steps to Reproduce:
- Create Rest Service
- Make sure its working
- Press clear template cache button
- rerun rest operation

Actual Result:
500 - internal server error

Expected Result:
REST service still working

Any Workarounds:
none found

Is there a way to work on a rest service without having to push the refresh-button on the rest-service after every change to a file?
this drives me crazy - I can't find a working solution to this. But this doesn't fit into my CF-experiences since 4.0...

Verified this issue also exists in CF11 Update 3 (11,0,03,292245(PreRelease)), using the following repro:

Application.cfc
---------------
component {
  THIS.name = "ticket_CF-3850183";
  public boolean function onRequestStart() {
    if(structKeyExists(URL, "reinit")) {
      restInitApplication(expandPath("./"), "ticketCF-3850183", {useHOST=true});
    }
    return true;
  }
}

R.cfc
-----
component restpath="{a}" {remote string function sayHello() httpmethod="GET" {return "b";}}

1) go to http://www.domain.com/?reinit, to init REST app
2) go to http://www.domain.com/rest/ticketCF-3850183/a and see "b"
3) in CF Admin, click Clear Template Cache Now
4) go to http://www.domain.com/rest/ticketCF-3850183/a and see "HTTP Error 500.0 - The CFC [path to CFC] is modified and the application is not refreshed."
5) in CF Admin, click Refresh icon for REST service -or- repeat #1
6) repeat #2 and see "b"

Thanks!,

+1. Should not need to tell CF to recompile stuff. Especially when the error message demonstrates CF *knows* what the issue is, just doesn't bother to do anything about it.

We've had some customers experience this too in CF 11. Hope it will be fixed soon.

I think I'm running into this problem, perhaps from a ColdFusion garbage collector.?. I don't click the "Clear Template Cache", but it randomly happens (sometimes within minutes, sometimes hours, even days later). The specific error I'm getting is "500 The application ___ is modified and not refreshed." This is extremely frustrating and is to the point that REST services are unusable!

This really needs to be fixed soon.

We just released a REST base api that is constantly not working and needs to be restarted.

There are no issues in development as template caching is not needed for development.  However, as soon as we deployed to out Production farm, random endpoints just suddenly stop working as the template caches are automatically flushed.

Is there a better work around than polling each endpoint and restarting REST whenever a problem arises?

Seeing the issue in CF 11 also. Stay away from the REST crap.

Getting this issue in CF10. Appears when clearing cache or changing a file with no caching turned on.

When can we see this released? Can I get ahold of a hotfix?
