Intermittent timeouts when saving at Commons
Closed, DuplicatePublicPRODUCTION ERROR

Description

When saving a page at Commons it occasionally times out with message, e.g.
'To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (17.452946901321) exceeded the 3 second limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead.
[d7183b57-a26b-414d-a40b-37bdde983d6c] 2024-05-07 01:18:34: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBTransactionSizeError"'

This has been happening for around two days, as reported by a number of users. Mostly the saves have been ok over this period, but the problem continues to occur intermittently/occasionally.

There were also reports of "Caught exception of type JobQueueError" earlier - perhaps related??
