I have been using Copernicus CDS ERA5 reanalysis data for a year or so but in the past couple weeks/days the API requests have started taking much longer.
I’m primarily pulling from this dataset: ERA5 hourly data on single levels from 1940 to present and have put an example request below. Is anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas about what my be causing the slowdown?
I know this is a large request but is being queued for several hours before “the status has been updated to running / successful”. I swear it used to be much faster. All tips welcome.
Example request:
{'product_type': ['reanalysis'], 'variable': '2m_temperature', 'year': ['1990'], 'month': ['01', '02', '03', '04', '05', '06', '07', '08', '09', '10', '11', '12'], 'day': ['01', '02', '03', '04', '05', '06', '07', '08', '09', '10', '11', '12', '13', '14', '15', '16', '17', '18', '19', '20', '21', '22', '23', '24', '25', '26', '27', '28', '29', '30', '31'], 'time': ['00:00', '03:00', '06:00', '09:00', '12:00', '15:00', '18:00', '21:00'], 'data_format': 'netcdf', 'download_format': 'unarchived', 'area': [90, 180, -90, -180]}
