[Summer-16 release notes][1]: Actually with summer-16 they have improved the cross-namespaced limits. > but the Limits that are shared across all namespaces, such as the > limit on maximum CPU time, remain the same. The new cumulative limit > doesn’t affect these limits. I don't think there is any direct reason or change which can start causing the CPU timeout exception.Maybe you can provide detail of supporting code sample etc maybe that is helpful [1]: https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer16/release-notes/rn_apex_cross_namespace_limits.htm
