This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-5505. The following is the description of the original issue:
—
Description of problem:
The upgradeability check in CVO is throttled (essentially cached) for a nondeterministic period of time, same as the minimal sync period computed at runtime. The period can be up to 4 minutes, determined at CVO start time as 2minutes * (0..1 + 1). We agreed with Trevor that such throttling is unnecessarily aggressive (the check is not that expensive). It also causes CI flakes, because the matching test only has 3 minutes timeout. Additionally, the non-determinism and longer throttling results makes UX worse by actions done in the cluster may have their observable effect delayed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
discovered in 4.10 -> 4.11 upgrade jobs
How reproducible:
The test seems to flake ~10% of 4.10->4.11 Azure jobs (sippy). There does not seem to be that much impact on non-Azure jobs though which is a bit weird.
Steps to Reproduce:
Inspect the CVO log and E2E logs from failing jobs with the provided [^check-cvo.py] helper:
$ ./check-cvo.py cvo.log && echo PASS || echo FAIL
Preferably, inspect CVO logs of clusters that just underwent an upgrade (upgrades makes the original problematic behavior more likely to surface)
Actual results:
$ ./check-cvo.py openshift-cluster-version_cluster-version-operator-5b6966c474-g4kwk_cluster-version-operator.log && echo PASS || echo FAIL FAIL: Cache hit at 11:59:55.332339 0:03:13.665006 after check at 11:56:41.667333 FAIL: Cache hit at 12:06:22.663215 0:03:13.664964 after check at 12:03:08.998251 FAIL: Cache hit at 12:12:49.997119 0:03:13.665598 after check at 12:09:36.331521 FAIL: Cache hit at 12:19:17.328510 0:03:13.664906 after check at 12:16:03.663604 FAIL: Cache hit at 12:25:44.662290 0:03:13.666759 after check at 12:22:30.995531 Upgradeability checks: 5 Upgradeability check cache hits: 12 FAIL
Note that the bug is probabilistic, so not all unfixed clusters will exhibit the behavior. My guess of the incidence rate is about 30-40%.
Expected result
$ ./check-cvo.py openshift-cluster-version_cluster-version-operator-7b8f85d455-mk9fs_cluster-version-operator.log && echo PASS || echo FAIL Upgradeability checks: 12 Upgradeability check cache hits: 11 PASS
The actual numbers are not relevant (unless the upgradeabilily check count is zero, which means the test is not conclusive, the script warns about that), lack of failure is.

The test passes. Also, the "Upgradeable conditions were recently checked, will try later." messages in CVO logs should never occur after a deterministic, short amount of time (I propose 1 minute) after upgradeability was checked.
I tested the throttling period in https://github.com/openshift/cluster-version-operator/pull/880. With the period of 15m, the test passrate was 4 of 9. Wiht the period of 1m, the test did not fail at all.
