Event Timeline

Quoting from T357547

While stopping all maintenance scripts (01-stop-maintenance), we found a user triggered script which we fiercely killed manually, and continued the process

Not sure exactly which script this was, but it might have been https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaModeration. If it was, then this will be running like last time and so would need to be manually killed.
