I run into this myself on occasion. I tend to just restart the build
manually. I am not sure if they will go for any sort of automated
solution for justifiable reasons.

This is different, but related; restarting after a timeout. It does not
seem like they want to implement such. I think their logic is sound.
They do expect someone to be paying attention to CI builds. Otherwise
it could just waste resources

Say there is some known network issue with a third party or accessing
them. Constantly restarting the build, will not do anything beneficial.
Thus having such feature is a hard call.

It seems it is quite common though.
