Description

Hi, first thanks a lot for this amazing project. Today SOPS all of a sudden became really slow in encrypting anything. I get two deprecation warnings

[PGP]    WARN[0000] Deprecation Warning: GPG key fetching from a keyserver witihin sops will be removed in a future version of sops. See https://github.com/mozilla/sops/issues/727 for more information. 
[PGP]    WARN[0030] Deprecation Warning: GPG key fetching from a keyserver witihin sops will be removed in a future version of sops. See https://github.com/mozilla/sops/issues/727 for more information.

and then it stalls for a while and then it encrypts. Any idea what could be going on? Until yesterday everything was fine. I reproduced this problem on multiple PC.

Research direction

Start by reproducing encryption with the reported deprecation warnings and observe the delay around GPG key fetching. Trace the SOPS path responsible for keyserver access and determine what changed; done means identifying the cause and verifying that encryption no longer stalls on multiple machines.
