Hello,
I am trying to learn and use compute engine.
I added a ssh key to os-login, and was able to log in to a newly created debian instance with my owner account.
On the shell command line the "tab" key was very slow.
I dug deeper, eventually sniffing traffic on port 80 with "tcpdump -A port 80"
My typing "tab" triggered the below http request that eventually timed out.
Please let me know if you know what is happening, and what I may have configured wrong.
Thanks very much.

A similar issue with a new debian instance and tab being slow (only as user, not as root).
I was running debugging with `strace` and noticed the same call to the metadata server with empty username. The same metadata call is present on a working debian instance with similar failure but the difference is that the tab-slow debian calls the metadata server multiple times before timeout.
As the deployments are through code with identical configuration, a bit puzzled what is causing it..
Did a bit of testing..
Looks like the latest debian-12-bookworm-v20240515 has it, replaced the VM with debian-12-bookworm-v20240312 and it works just fine.
debian-12-bookworm-v20240415 has the issue as well.
