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.
