title: Azure devops timeout when downloading artifacts
body: <p>The release pipeline was working fine until recently, nothing had changed but it was saying that the agents were offline or disabled when they weren't. It turned out they needed to be updated from version <code>2.163</code> to <code>2.188</code> after this the pipeline would begin, but now it times out after downloading only a few artifacts.</p>
  <p>What could be the issue?</p>
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  <p>The pre-releases <code>2.188.1</code> and <code>2.188.2</code> of the agents are allowing the pipeline to begin, but they timeout when downloading the artifacts. Anything before that version won't begin the pipeline. The last full release is <code>v2.187.2</code></p>
  <p>EDIT 2:</p>
  <p>I have noticed that during a change to the release pipeline it automatically updates this property in the defintion for every task.</p>
  <p><code>&quot;currentRelease&quot;: {&quot;id&quot;: 3664,&quot;url&quot;: &quot;https://foo/bar/_apis/Release/releases/3664&quot;,&quot;_links&quot;: {}}</code></p>
  <p>3664 is updated to a new number in both places</p>
  <p>When I reverted this change, these properties are unchanged and keep that version and the release is still failing to start.</p>
  <p>Logs when timing out:</p>
