It isn't confined to only SuSE. In libvirt we've had similar problems

GitLab have finally acknowledged it is an general infra issue affecting
many things:

Given it is believed to be a gitlab infra issue, rather than a problem
of ours, or something we're using, I think best to wait a little longer
to see if they get fix the infra.
