Fetchngs fails with error: terminated with an error exit status (1) -- Execution is retried (1)

Description of the bug

I am trying to download metadata associated with a bunch of SRR ids and the fetchngs flow is failing.
The code I am using is
nextflow run nf-core/fetchngs
-c samples_fetchngs_20250319.config
-profile docker
-r 1.12.0
--skip_fastq_download
--nf_core_pipeline 'rnaseq'
--input gse_accession_20250316_list.csv

My config file is
// fetchngs_20250319.config

params {
input = 'gse_accession_20250316_list.csv'
outdir = '/home/kra/scratch/nf_test/samples_20250316_fetchngs'
}

// Docker configuration
docker {
enabled = true
removeContainer = true
runOptions = '--network host --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4' // Consolidated Docker options
}

// Global process config
process {
cpus = 1
memory = 4.GB
time = 4.hour

// Process-specific configurations
withName: 'NFCORE_FETCHNGS:SRA:SRA_IDS_TO_RUNINFO' {
    maxRetries = 2
    errorStrategy = { task.attempt <= 2 ? 'retry' : 'ignore' }
    memory = { 2.GB * task.attempt }
    time = { 1.hour * task.attempt }
    // Removed containerOptions to avoid duplicate network host
}

withLabel: 'error_retry' {
    errorStrategy = { task.attempt <= 2 ? 'retry' : 'ignore' }
    maxRetries = 2
    memory = { 2.GB * task.attempt }
    time = { 30.min * task.attempt }
}

}

// Trace configuration
trace {
enabled = true
file = "${params.outdir}/pipeline_trace.txt"
fields = 'task_i

Start with the NFCORE_FETCHNGS:SRA:SRA_IDS_TO_RUNINFO process and inspect the task logs in work/0e/e30bc8, 4e/05a8cb, a4/64a350, or dc/618409. Compare the failing command output with the Docker and retry configuration shown in the report. Done means the listed SRR metadata tasks complete without exit status 1 and downstream SRA processes begin.
