Cannot retrieve latest version of some NuGet packages via CodeArtifact

Question

I have followed the instructions from CodeArtifact documentation to establish
* nuget-store repository with external connector to NuGet
* internal repository with upstream to nuget-store repository

When re-configuring Visual Studio 2022/NuGet to use the CodeArtifact as source, it seems to work. However when testing with our app teams' application solutions, it seems to fail to find the latest versions of some specific packages.

```

Error	NU1102	Unable to find package DeepCloner with version (>= 0.10.4)

```

The latest versions of above packages could strangely be retrieved after I disabled the "Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages" source. But in their place, another set of package versions can't be found for other projects.

Don't understand what sort of behaviour I am witnessing here? Why is CodeArtifact's connector only able to retrieve the penultimate versions for those packages?

Accepted Answer

For some reason this week the NuGet restore attempt works, with CodeArtifact able to download the previously missing latest versions of Humanizer.Core packages.

Seems like there is some weird type of throttling happening between CodeArtifact and NuGet? Falling short of grabbing the very latest version. Unsatisfactory but the problem is gone now.
