Slow (minutes) API Calls to Query Views

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.  I am noticing that for the past few weeks it can take several minutes to query a view in Airtable using the API.

 

 

Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or was some recent change made to degrade service?  It’s been working great for years, and unfortunately I have to update the backend to use cached records in AWS instead of calling the Airtable API directly via the ‘pyairtable’ SDK.

 

Just a lot of work that’s heading me down a migration path of removing Airtable from our stack, since the workaround is literally not to use the Airtable API, which means no Airtable, ultimately.

Hm, I’d suggest opening a support ticket with Airtable directly to see whether they can help with this
