I'm having very frequent issues with InRelease too, in my case the error
message is different though:

503  Connection closed, check DlMaxRetries [IP: 127.0.0.1 3142]

Relatedly, I see the following in /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.err:

  Thu Aug 13 07:47:54 2026|Failure to move file 
/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/uburep/dists/resolute/InRelease out of the way or 
cannot create 
/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/uburep/dists/resolute/InRelease.1786607274 - errno: 
File exists
  Thu Aug 13 07:47:54 2026|Error creating file item for 
uburep/dists/resolute/InRelease -- check file permissions!

This is with apt-cacher-ng 3.7.5-1, hence before the fuse2 -> fuse3
changes.

HTH,
