It seems that the Thanos Compactor is unable to fetch all the metadata within a reasonable amount of time.
This dashboard https://grafana.wikimedia.org/goto/UMnUYe3Hg?orgId=1 highlights some errors starting from 2025-10-02 12:06:00.
The duration of requests has also changed accordingly:
Taking a look to the thanos swift dashboard https://grafana.wikimedia.org/goto/p0nvEe3NR?orgId=1, the system stats graphs show noticeable pattern variations compared to the last 30 days.
Is it possible that some other accounts are currently putting heavy load on the cluster?
