repo.Network.ListReferences(remote) throwing exception "this remote has never connected" intermittently

Calling repo.Network.ListReferences(remote) throws exception "this remote has never connected" intermittently. This is how I have called it ... if it matters

          string localRepoPath = "path to cloned folder";
          string remoteName = "origin";            
            using (Repository repo = new Repository(localRepoPath))
            {
                remoteName = repo.Network.Remotes.FirstOrDefault()?.Name ?? remoteName;
                Remote remote = repo.Network.Remotes[remoteName];                
                List<Reference> references = repo.Network.ListReferences(remote).ToList();
				
				// some more code logic here
			}

So am calling the overload of ListReferences(Remote remote) which essentially calls ListReferencesInternal(string url, CredentialsHandler credentialsProvider) passing null to CredentialsHandler. Should this be an issue? Don't think so since it's working in second try or so. Relevant exception stack trace below

{
"Depth": 1,
"ClassName": "",
"Message": "this remote has never connected",
"Source": "LibGit2Sharp",
"StackTraceString": " at LibGit2Sharp.Core.Ensure.HandleError(Int32 result)\r\n at LibGit2Sharp.Core.Proxy.git_remote_ls(Repository repository, RemoteHandle remote)\r\n at LibGit2Sharp.Network.ListReferencesInternal(String url, CredentialsHandler credentialsProvider)\r\n

Please suggest, what's wrong is going on (Or) if you need further information from my end.

Found this existing issue https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1504 but am not passing any credential, and it's a public repo which am trying to access.

從 Network.ListReferences(Remote)、ListReferencesInternal 以及 stack trace 中顯示的 git_remote_ls 呼叫開始。使用提供的範例重現第一次呼叫和後續呼叫，然後追蹤 remote 的間歇性狀態；當原因已確認，且該失敗已有回歸測試或清楚記錄的解決方案時，即表示完成。
