[paymog]

Actual Behavior

Looks like this was addressed in 0.15.3 but I'm on 0.20.0 and I'm still seeing it. Fetching these providers can be very slow. Here are some logs I see

goldsky-infra-prod  Terraform has been successfully initialized!

                    You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
                    any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
                    should now work.

                    If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
                    rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
                    commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
