Good catch!

However, according to ‘set-build-options’ in (guix store),
#:max-silent-time #f is equivalent to #:max-silent-time 3600.

Perhaps the build remains silent for just about an hour and you were
lucky on your second try?

At any rate, it would be good to remove ‘max-silent-time’ from all the
‘%default-options’ variables, for consistency.
