Today, I’ve been having trouble chatting. Even a simple “Hi” requires a few seconds of waiting for a response. Since I only work with long texts in my chats, it’s impossible to have a conversation because it takes several minutes to get a single reply. I’ve already changed the model (currently using GPT 4.1 mini), cleared the cookies, and switched browsers, but the problem persists. The strange thing is that it was working perfectly yesterday.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to solve it?

We had a bit of a slowdown last night in preparation for the rollout today. Things should be running either the same or faster than ever now.
