Could not acquire Write lock in time 180000 milliseconds.

[keepereg]

Hi all, we are getting the following error when trying to publish customizations:

Starting: MSCRMPublishCustomizations

Task : Publish Customizations
Description : Publishes all customizations in a given PowerApps/CDS/Dynamics 365 environment

Publishing Customizations
##[error]Could not acquire Write lock in time 180000 milliseconds. Lock mode: Write. Lock name: OverrideLabelDictionaryCache.TryLookupEntry
Finishing: MSCRMPublishCustomizations

This has been working for ~3 years and only recently started failing intermittently. We opened a ticket with Microsoft, but they have said that it is an issue with the task, not devops and have basically said we're on our own. Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
