Description

Starting from 2025 07 04 on Google Cloud we get this error that links function to this repo at the bottom of this log entry:

```
{
"insertId": "oguo51fnbt0fd",
"jsonPayload": {
"localTimestamp": "2025-07-07T05:19:00.8012Z",
"omitempty": null,
"message": "Error watching metadata: context canceled"
},
"resource": {
"type": "gce_instance",
"labels": {
"instance_id": "3371365647560141590",
"project_id": "xxxxxxxx",
"zone": "europe-west3-a"
}
},
"timestamp": "2025-07-07T05:19:00.808556387Z",
"severity": "ERROR",
"labels": {
"instance_name": "aef-default-20250706t193350-58h2"
},
"logName": "projects/xxxxxxxx/logs/GCEGuestAgent",
"sourceLocation": {
"file": "metadata.go",
"line": "68",
"function": "github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-agent/google_guest_agent/events/metadata.(*Watcher).Run"
},
"receiveTimestamp": "2025-07-07T05:19:00.954340019Z"
}
```

Starting with those errors we started getting random 502 bad gateway requests from 2025 07 04 so not sure if that is related with guest agent or no.
