(Noticed via alert for failed systemd unit.)

So far I've restarted the unit and it works. Not sure why it was running into a timeout. If it was just a one-time problem we can maybe just close the ticket again. For now I've been creating it to have a record.

Suggestions¶

• There's no user impact
• This only occurred once so far
• We don't know what caused the timeout
• Do a brief research on what this error means
