    In that run it took more than 10 seconds which is the unlock timeout.

    And on my system it took around 3 seconds.

    So maybe just increase the timeout (if this happens often) in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/ba348dbc518b8e082a5dc3a225432fdacf859a13/test/functional/wallet_descriptor.py#L114

    No? It took 0.149000 seconds?

    Oh right!

    The issue is a race between the 2nd walletpassphrase and the 1st lock callback. This was introduced in #18481.

    From the logs

    2020-04-28T17:11:50.607000Z TestFramework (INFO): Test encryption
    2020-04-28T17:11:51.349000Z TestFramework (INFO): Test that getnewaddress still works after keypool is exhausted in an encrypted wallet
    2020-04-28T17:12:01.196000Z TestFramework (INFO): Test that unlock is needed when deriving only hardened keys in an encrypted wallet
    2020-04-28T17:12:01.345000Z TestFramework (ERROR): JSONRPC error
    

    Little more than 10 seconds passed between the 1st walletpassphrase and the error, so in practice, the 2nd walletpassphrase was canceled by the 1st timeout.

    I'll submit a possible fix.
