Intermittent Issue – Pulp Remote Create/Sync Operation Timing Out

Support
#1

I am using Pulp 3.8 in a containerized environment and setting key parameters using environment variables with the -e flag:

  • PULP_WORKERS=10
  • PULP_API_WORKERS
  • PULP_GUNICORN_TIMEOUT

Initially, the configuration works as expected. However, I intermittently face failures during Pulp remote create/sync operations for packages after running multiple tasks.

After keeping the system idle for around an hour, it stabilizes and starts functioning normally again.

Additionally, after restarting the Pulp container, the worker count unexpectedly increased from default value 10 to 20.

What could be the possible reason for this?
