We're still rolling out configurations to mitigate this issue. Note that this issue only affects users with builders in some US regions. In the meanwhile, trying the recommended workarounds, or relocating your builder (Settings -> App builders) to either Dallas, Chicago or Toronto should allow your builds to complete successfully.
