I am having a similar issue and it was working just yesterday... This is the exact error code I am getting:

gpg: problem with the agent: Timeout
gpg: skipped "4F27FB2BECB3E24766D9307798C04657E073C27F": Operation cancelled
gpg: signing failed: Operation cancelled

Can someone assist?

    Hi KG,

    please create a new discussion if you need assistance with GPG Suite. Posting on existing discussions is often not a good idea. Since having many users in one discussion is likely to cause confusion, we prefer to solve issues on a "per case" basis. That helps to keep the discussion straight forward and provide a fast solution to you and other users.

    I have thus split your comment into a separate discussion.

    Let's try to pin down where your problems are deriving from. For further investigations could you please provide a few more details.

    • Copy all version info as described in this KB-article

    • What are you trying to do and which steps are you taking to achieve that? At which step are you seeing the issue?

    1. Step 1
    2. Step 2
    3. ...
    
    • What are you expecting instead:

    Please post any error messages as screenshots in jpg format. Provide as much detail as possible.

    Attach .png or .jpg screenshots of error messages or steps leading to this problem.

    Does pinentry show at all?

    That information will help us to find an entry point for hunting down this problem.

    Best regards, Steve
