Looking at your pastebin, it looks like the server sometimes takes it
and sometimes not. E.g., piping the log through:

  egrep '(Send|Recv) header:' |
  perl -lpe 's/^.*?(=>|<=) //'

I see:

  Send header: GET /example-keys/sample-project.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
  Send header: User-Agent: git/2.19.0
  ...
  Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
  Recv header: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="GitLab"
  ...
  Send header: GET /example-keys/sample-project.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
  Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
  Send header: User-Agent: git/2.19.0
  ...
  Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

So that works. But then later we get:

  Send header: GET /example-keys/sample-project.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
  Send header: User-Agent: git/2.19.0
  ...
  Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
  Recv header: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="GitLab"
  ...
  Send header: GET /example-keys/sample-project.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
  Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
  Send header: User-Agent: git/2.19.0
  ...
  Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

And then that causes credential-store to delete the non-working entry,
after which all of them must fail (because you have no working
credential, and presumably no terminal to prompt the user).

I have no idea why the same request would sometimes be allowed and
sometimes not. It's possible the <redacted> data is different in those
two times, but I don't know why that would be. It's also possible you're
hitting different load-balancing servers that behave differently.
