It was configured so as to happen automatically. Looking now, under
Settings→Repository→Mirroring repositories, everything appears blank and
the only Mirror direction offered appears to be "Push". Documentation
also appears to mention that pulling is an Ultimate only feature. It may
have only stopped now because you logged in.

There is a programme to allow open source projects to apply for that for
free, see: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/

However, I'm more inclined to delete the (now broken) mirror than jump
through their hoops.

I only ever fetched from it to get at the merge requests. A slight lag
is not something I'd ever be especially concerned about. There have only
been 16 merge requests. If we just want the extra backup, there are
other options like codeberg and bitbucket.
