Azure Release Pipeline's Initialize Job (downloading task) step taking longer than usual

[KrupaliM_27]

Recently, we have noticed that while running the Initialize Job step in release pipelines, the Downloading tasks - DownloadBuildArtifacts (0.228.0) and Powershell (2.228.1) are taking more than 1 minute, which usually take seconds to run.
