    CI frequently fails lately intermittently due to a network issue: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/actions/runs/18389269290/job/52395485037?pr=33592#step:9:518

    As the infra was changed to run on someone else’s sever, I don’t know how to debug this or how to fix it.

    Possibly related to Github API incidents yesterday: https://www.githubstatus.com/history ?

    I have reached out to Cirrus to see if they aware of any rate-limiting or anything else which could cause this.

    It’s probably due to all the non-financial op_return data polluting the chain

    #32575 is now completely stuck on this, multiple jobs fail even after close/re-open. Seems like this has gotten worse if this was only hitting single jobs previously…

    I guess the IPs are detected as and blocked as “LLM scrapers”. Possible workarounds could be:

    • Use a mirror/proxy to download the json file
    • Use a git clone (sparse), which may not be rate limited

    I had a reply from Cirrus on this; apparently they have done some work over the weekend which should resolve this issue.

    We should keep an eye on failures in case it happens again, but other than that hopefully things now fixed.
