Problem

Describe the bug Since yesterday, CI jobs keep failing. I tried to re-run the previously passed changes and still failed. Also tried the latest runner (actions-runner-linux-x64-2.285.1.tar.gz) but still the same. The CI job runs a script (customized action script). It takes about 15 mins to finish. The job actually finished correctly as I can see from my host log but CI reports error like: The self-hosted runner: xxx lost communication with the server. Verify the machine is running and has a healthy network connection. Anything in your workflow that terminates the runner process, starves it for CPU/Memory, or blocks its network access can cause this error. journalctl shows: Job build_ubuntu completed with result: Abandoned The "raw log" in web UI shows: 2021-12-10T04:55:30.4780954Z ##[error]The operation was canceled. 2021-12-10T04:55:30.4933658Z Post job cleanup. Please advise how should I diagnose the issue? OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Runner: actions-runner-linux-x64-2.285.1.tar.gz
