ERA5 complete taking ages to download API

Hello
ERA5 reanalysis data downloads through API very SLOW in the last two weeks – ~3 hours of queuing/processing time. Very unusual. Are people in the community experiencing the same issue?

Hi, I have also been experiencing the same, a request like:

{u’area’: u’90/-180/-90/180’,
u’class’: u’od’,
u’date’: u’2025-05-26/to/2025-06-01’,
u’expver’: u’1’,
u’levtype’: u’sfc’,
u’param’: u’121.128’,
u’step’: u’6/12’,
u’stream’: u’oper’,
u’time’: u’0/12’,
u’type’: u’fc’}

with Memory used: 229.62 Mbyte(s) took around 04:49:53 hours to complete… this sounds unusually long for me.

I can add, experience same issue. Downloading the ERA5 data is taking longer than the model run.

Same for me. It takes ages to simply download 3MB of data as I am stuck in the queue for 18hrs…

Is there any sever maintenance going on right now…? I think the queue is still long for getting data.

It still takes 1hr to download 2MB of data. Its very inefficient at the moment.

Same here. I’m stuck in the que for 4 days…
