Atlantis

cpu/memory performance during plan activity appears steady with no surge (dedicated nodepool), I've tried also tried using external storage for atlantis data dir (even though not needed) but issue persists,

any suggestions on a  permanent fix to this bug would be really helpful.  Thank you.

the problem is terraform, it's unable to reuse cached provider entries unless you have checked in your .hcl files.
if you don't want to check in your .hcl files, add this to your .terraformrc:
```plugin_cache_may_break_dependency_lock_file = true```
or set the environment variable
```TF_PLUGIN_CACHE_MAY_BREAK_DEPENDENCY_LOCK_FILE```
<https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/config-file#allowing-the-provider-plugin-cache-to-break-the-dependency-lock-file>

I have set the environment variable as recommended and currently testing, I will keep this thread updated once testing is completed. Thank you
