I am also experiencing this issue, I've never seen it before today. We are also using Microsoft hosted agents.

I am experiencing as well, looks like it started for me on Monday, Sept. 30, 2024 - but I am using Self-Hosted Windows agents...

[azuresysadmin]

I am experiencing this issue as well, in several environments. All using Self-Hosted Linux agents, and it seems to have begun on September 30.

Hey @enachi - does this also have a companion report on https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/ - if not, maybe putting it there and linking to here (and maybe back) would help get more attention? Just a thought.
