Deployment Delays (>10 mins) with Chalice 1.32.0

Description
While deploying AWS Lambda functions using Chalice (chalice 1.32.0, python 3.12.2, darwin 24.6.0), deployments are taking an unusually long time (over 10 minutes). This issue was not present earlier and seems to have degraded recently.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Chalice 1.32.0 with Python 3.12.2 on darwin 24.6.0.
2. Run chalice deploy for a moderately sized Lambda project.
3. Observe deployment time – consistently longer than 10 minutes.

Environment

• Chalice: 1.32.0
• Python: 3.12.2
• OS: Darwin 24.6.0

Additional Notes

• This delay did not occur with earlier deployments.
• Unsure if this is related to Chalice version, Python version, or a packaging change.
• Logs show normal progress but take much longer before completion.
• It gets stuck with Creating deployment package
