Description

Somehow I started to see PRs get built over and over (for the same commit) when their PR description get changed.

 

I don't recall to see that behaviour in the past. It's not something only in our end but also in the ci.jenkins.io

 

To illustrate the above see the below example:

 


 

 


In the https://ci.jenkins.io/job/Plugins/job/opentelemetry-plugin/indexing/events I can see the below logs
