I do not see any issue with deb.debian.org.
Is there a chance that other mirror was actually used due to e.g. the
auto-apt-proxy package installed on your machine?
No, I try to keep the setup simple.
Do you have http_proxy environment set?
No, I don't use any proxies.
I would not exclude ISP provider's mirror forced through a transparent
proxy.
My ISP doesn't know anything about sites I'm accessing or about files
I'm downloading, because I use DNS-over-TLS on my router in addition to
HTTPS protocol to access "deb.debian.org" and other sites.
So, no, I don't think my ISP is capable to do the impossible. :)
By the way, you may specify deb.debian.org in addition to the selected
mirror, so if one mirror is not updated, files may be fetched from
another source.
I don't think that will be a good idea. How can I be sure that Fastly
won't serve me files again from their outdated CDN cache?
There was a thread on hiding security updates by serving old files,
but the main repository, unlike security, is not updated frequently
enough require fresh enough files through apt configuration:

Interesting.
I wonder if apt can somehow check if repository was updated, being in
the process of updating, or outdated for a few days. Maybe by checking
some flag-file and warn user about inconsistency...
For now, if apt will be acting up again, I will be checking manually if
the Release file of "proposed-updates" repository is recent enough.
