What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Dependabot fails every time with Error: The operation was canceled after precisely 54m 59s, so I expect it could be some sort of timeout
I think that may be the reason is that I grouped everything MS-provided in one big group and .NET patch version have came out.
My group:

         - "Microsoft.Extensions.*"
          - "Microsoft.AspNetCore.*"
          - "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore*"
          - "System.Text.Json"
          - "System.Net.Http.Json"
          - "dotnet-ef"

Manually updating a lot of projects solved the issue, so it's confirmed that the problem is too many updates in one bunch joinrpg/joinrpg-net@d221906

Too many updates in the same run can certainly lead to timeouts, but another reason is too many projects listed. Since we have to honor NuGet.Config files, we can't pre-load any NuGet packages that you likely have on your local machine which means a lot of the updater's time is spent downloading and unpacking common packages.
