Thanks for raising this. This behaviour should never happen, and this looks like a bug that we want to investigate.
The link to your config files (https://github.com/huguesalary/terraform-issue/blob/main/main.tf) does not work - please fix this so we can take a look.

Hi @kmoe, thank you; my mistake on the repository; I just fixed it, it now public.

Thanks for the minimal reproduction case! I've been able to generate a plan, and confirm that terraform show -json is extremely slow. It has not yet finished executing after over an hour. This is almost definitely the cause of the issue you're seeing on Terraform Cloud, which I imagine is a timeout due to slow execution of this command.

I'm continuing to investigate this, hoping that we'll find something obvious causing this performance problem.

[alisdair]

The PR pending review in #30561 should fix this issue. Thanks again for reporting it!

[huguesalary]

Awesome, thanks for the quick turnaround!
