   My guess is that the thread (or memory, or storage) is put to sleep for several seconds. Not sure how to fix this, though.

   Doesn’t look very critical to me, plus it’s very rare (I’ve seen it just this once), so maybe close this as a one-off at some point.

   I am seeing it regularly. (A few times per month, depending on how many CI runs you look at in the month, see #19684 (comment))

   But there is also the tx delay issue, #19732, so maybe we just give up and accept some failures
