Userguide is failing to deploy

[IAlibay]

This is now two instances of the userguide not deploying either due to timeout issues or package size: https://github.com/MDAnalysis/UserGuide/actions/workflows/pages/pages-build-deployment

[RMeli]

@IAlibay is this still relevant? 2.7.0 deployed successfully and in #350 (comment) you mentioned you fixed all the outstanding issues, but I don't see anything linked here. Am I missing something?

[IAlibay]

@RMeli I fixed the "normal build issues", not this one (if that makes sense). I think deployment is still failing every so often, might be worth keeping open.

[RMeli]

Ok, sounds good! Thanks for the clarification and for the other fixes!

[IAlibay]

I've removed the priority label since it's not being that much of an issue.

@lilyminium @RMeli @IAlibay any idea how to fix?

I am a bit anxious to get at least the dev version of the UG up for the UGM next week.

https://www.githubstatus.com/ does report issues for Aug 14/15 so maybe it's temporary.

[orbeckst]

I am trying to rerun the whole workflow (instead of just the deploy part).

Now it gets to deployment with the ominous warning

Warning: Uploaded artifact size of 1782460829 bytes exceeds the allowed size of 1 GB. Deployment might fail.

... but it deployed and https://userguide.mdanalysis.org/2.8.0-dev0/contributing_code.html#with-conda updated!
