Yes. This hits archive.apache.org which has this warning:


Do note that heavy use of this service will result in immediate throttling of your download speeds to either 12 or 6
mbps for the remainder of the day, depending on severity. Continuous abuse (to the tune of more than 40 GB 
downloaded per week) will cause an [automatic ban](https://infra.apache.org/infra-ban.html), so please tune your 
services to this fact.


It's conceivable that GHA runners run into some of those limits.
