This code is neither bad nor uncertain. There's nothing to gain access to. More information:

> [@GOOD\_OVERLOAD, should I ignore it?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/good-overload-should-i-ignore-it/109128/3):

> Your source OPC server is telling you that it isn't keeping up with the workload you've given it. It definitely should not be ignored.

> [@Ignition 8.1.5 OPC UA Client Good\_Overload Quality](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-8-1-5-opc-ua-client-good-overload-quality/46792/2):
>
> Starting in 8.1.2 Ignition’s QualityCode system gained a Good\_Overload code that is now mapped to when a Good\_Overload StatusCode is received from an OPC UA server. You were likely always receiving this StatusCode on value changes from this server but previously it was just ignored. Slow down your sampling rate (Tag Group rate in Ignition) or just ignore it. The QualityCode is purely informative, it doesn’t have any representation in the tag browser or the quality overlay system.

TL/DR: **Fix your overload condition.**

Alternative: make expression tags referencing these tags, using `forceQuality()`.
