SRE Support Needed

QA tests have been failing on Staging main and Staging canary intermittently because repositories can't be created. It doesn't seem to be associated with a code change (the failures don't occur when running the tests against a fresh omnibus-gitlab install, or GDK, or GitLab.com).

The failures happening on Staging main are associated with this Sentry log: https://sentry.gitlab.net/gitlab/staginggitlabcom/issues/3278955/?environment=gstg

Could someone please take a look to see if there is a problem with the infrastructure?
