I have a new problem I haven't seen until recently on Fedora 26 (I don't recall running into this during development, so I'm guessing it's only shown up in the last month). This is on Fedora 26 Server but should apply equally to Workstation:
So what you'll see below is the timer triggers pretty much once an hour, and I guess figures out whether it's stale or not and if it is it downloads new metadata. But then at a certain point it just hangs and stops updating for hours and hours, and then I can't run dnf because it's already running. Continues after the journal output...
