All of my gsutil commands timeout - command-line

Question

so I've successfully installed the newest google-cloud-sdk on my mac so all my gcloud and gsutil command line tools are up to date.
However, whenever I try a gsutil command, it times out. For example, when I run:
gsutil mb gs://cloud-storage-analysis
it starts to run, printing:
Creating gs://cloud-storage-analysis/...
But then it never stops. I stop it using Control-C and it prints out this.
Caught signal 2 - exiting

The one time I let it run for a long time, it actually timed out and stopped. This happens for every gsutil command I try.
My bq commands work (but they're really slow).
I don't know what's wrong.
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
So my problem hasn't entirely gone away, but gsutil does sometimes work. It is very intermittent and seemingly random when it works and when it doesn't. It seems like refreshing the shell and/or quitting and reopening Terminal helps, but not every time. I'd still like to get to the bottom of it.
So as Misha suggested, I ran gsutil -D ls as a test.
It got to here and then stopped for a while (maybe 2-3 minutes): (some info has been [removed])

It tried to reconnect a few times but it timed out each time and then I stopped it.
I have not tried this on another machine, but I have talked to a coworker who has the same problem (frequently it won't work but some times it does).

Answer 1

So, if you have this problem, most likely you'll be able to get gsutil to work if you basically just try it a lot. Try restarting the shell (exec -l $SHELL) and quitting/reopening the command line and keep trying, it eventually worked for me. This is not a permanent fix, it still times out about 2/3 the time for me. But you'll at least be able to run your commands.
Hopefully Google can address this problem
