KagiFeedbacker Getting wait times of 1-2 minutes for basic queries that previously took 5 seconds. Same behaviour using various models. Experienced on both browser and iOS app. Prompts that usually take less than 5 seconds to answer take up to 2 minutes.

Matteo KagiFeedbacker Our team is actively investigating this issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible. Really sorry about this.

Duplicake I was having the same behaviour with the quick answer in search results, they definitely could be related

Alexander101 I can confirm it is unbelievably slow. So slow, in fact, that I'm using other models because it's unusable. The LLM assistant times out, at times, it's that slow. Utterly unusable.
