What happened?

I have been trying to run workflos today and they keep failing with "Error: Upload progress stalled." My workflows have been working fine for months never seen this before. Theyre running via a self hosted runner. I hhave tried setting ACTIONS_ARTIFACT_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY: 5 but it makes no difference
