Very Slow CDS API Downloads

Hello,


Sorry ahead of time if this is not the right place for this. 

I am trying to download some ERA5 (reanalysis-era5-single-levels) data, and noticed that very small requests (1 day, 9 fields, hourly data) are taking 4-8 hours to complete. I realize that under high load the CDS API can be slow, but this seems abnormal. This has been occurring for the past couple of days.



Request payload of running request:


Product: 'reanalysis-era5-single-levels'

{'product_type': 'reanalysis', 'variable': ['2m_dewpoint_temperature', '2m_temperature', '10m_u_component_of_wind', '10m_v_component_of_wind', 'mean_sea_level_pressure', 'total_cloud_cover', 'total_precipitation', 'snowfall', 'instantaneous_10m_wind_gust'], 'year': ['2022'], 'month': ['03'], 'day': ['01'], 'time': ['00:00', '01:00', '02:00', '03:00', '04:00', '05:00', '06:00', '07:00', '08:00', '09:00', '10:00', '11:00', '12:00', '13:00', '14:00', '15:00', '16:00', '17:00', '18:00', '19:00', '20:00', '21:00', '22:00', '23:00'], 'format': 'grib'}


Is there an outage or an issue with the CDS service?


Thanks!
