Probably best to read this to understand better what happened. TLDR The problem was due to a hung network connection. So the notarisation check thought it could go because it had network but then it hung because the connection to oscp was getting stalled. Hence why turning off network made the problem go away. I experienced a weird slowdown for about 20mins, then everything went back to normal.
