sfdx force:source:deploy:report: Metadata API request failed: INVALID_QUERY_LOCATOR

[steals]

Summary

In our repo we have around 15k metadata component and the full deployment / validation job takes 2+ hours to complete. From time to time our pipeline fails because it received the following error:
ERROR running force:source:deploy:report: Metadata API request failed: INVALID_QUERY_LOCATOR: invalid query locator

There is no exact steps to reproduce but as I noticed this error might appear after 1.5+ hours pulling of the deployment status.

System Information
