Building apps with additional countries with standard hosted github runners

[pieter-kok]

Currently we're running CI/CD for multiple countries for our products using Standard GitHub-hosted runners.
We're already doing that for a year or two.
We have the setting runs-on set to ubuntu-latest. However, as this question focusses on the building part of the CI/CD, this part is run on windows.

"country": "nl",
"additionalCountries": [
"be",
"ch",
"de",
"fr",
"gb",
"us"
],

What we're seeing the latest minor releases is that, were earlier the system was able to completely run the CI/CD, the latest additionalCountries return in what seems random errors. The idea I'm getting is that those are for some reason triggered by the resources available on the runner in combination with the workload given. Sometimes the CI/CD is already failing on gb. More frequent the CI/CD is failing on us.

An example of one of the errors (a fragment of the output) we got is added below.
This is based on a CI/CD that was executed on Nov. 12. But these issues arise every once in a while.
For now we temporarily stop running the latest countries to continue with our work (and run the tests manually to be sure everything is ok). But that is not how we want to continue going forward, as you can understand.

That leads to my question: is running such a configuration supported on a standard github hosted runner?
And if not, what type of runner should we be using (in terms of specifications)?
Or is there something else happening here?
