Slow API responses

Hi all.

We use https://developers.samsara.com/docs/telematics#feed API endpoint to fetch telematics data on a daily basis. It usually takes less than a second to download a batch of data, but today our ingestion process started failing with a timeout (we used a 30 second timeout for Samsara API interactions). After a bit of debugging, we realized that Samsara's API seems to be abut 50x slower compared to what we saw in the past (it takes cca. 35 seconds to download a batch of data).

I checked https://developers.samsara.com/docs/rate-limits just in case, but we seem to be well below those limits (we send at most 5 requests per second and fetch all of the data sequentially).

Did anything change in the last day that could explain this slowdown?

Cheers, Tadej
