Firebase hosting deployment failing

Question

Running firebase deploy will run for a few minutes before giving me a timeout error Error: ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

I've successfully deployed multiple times earlier, without changing anything but the frontend of my project (written in React).

I have a separate folder with my cloud functions, which deploy perfectly with firebase deploy --only functions

I've tried regular deployment with firebase deploy as well as with --except functions flag but with no luck.

Also tried updating npm and firebase-tools

running firebase deploy --debug yields the following error after a few minutes:

Delete the hidden folder in you project root directory.

.firebase/hosting.*.cache
