Hello,
I was using the Python API to request several parameters from ERA5-Land database. It takes very long to download a single year of data, around 4-5 h, for just few grid cells. I believe this was different before the transfer to CDS-Beta, however I am not sure because before I was downloading ERA5, not ERA5-Land. Is my issue related to ERA5-Land not being on the disk of the CDS, or it just needs some adjustments and should work fine in the incoming days? Thank you very much for your help.

same issue here. I requested my data 3hs ago and I am still waiting.The waiting time of over 4hs cannot be accepted. It was far faster before .

I think the CDS has just slowed down a lot today, after a speed decline over the last couple days, and maybe you’re seeing the same slow downloads I’m getting for the ERA5 single-level and on-pressure-level sets. And your switching to ERA5-Land and getting slower downloads is a coincidence because you did it at the same time that CDS got really slow.
