inconsistent execution times - actions seemingly hang

Body

I've been experiencing github actions steps that commonly take 22 seconds run to completion and then fail/time-out at 10 minutes. The frequency of these spurious failures has greatly increased over the past couple of months.

It is a golang project that builds and unit tests the code go mod download go generate ./... go build ./... and go test ./... - nothing to write home about. The timeout failure is in the go test step

The dichotomy is starkest on updating pull requests where the action is triggered twice - once for the push and once for the PR.

I've seen the action execute to completion in normal time and then seemingly hang until the 10m timeout.

I opened this support ticket https://support.github.com/ticket/personal/0/2852062

P.S. is there a pattern when I can execute only once on this situation?
