Hey folks, we investigated this issue and made some changes to try to alleviate the problem, and we expect to see some improvement over the next hour.

As some folks have mentioned in this thread, this issue is a result of internet throttling that is in place as a result of increased network demand during the pandemic 16. We appreciate your patience here, we’re committed to doing our best to avoid impact to you from these restrictions, sorry we didn’t get it 100% right this time.

cheers
