Can you tell me more about where you are seeing slow requests from? Are this using the internal connection string or the external connection string? Any other context would be helpful!

Both ways I've noticed problems. Externally started jobs hitting limits I think with memory suddenly on the database which later then work fine. Things seem to be back to normal for now, which makes me think there's outside code changes going on. I don't want to do a ton of research now, if you don't see any smoking gun immediately all good, no need to spend more time on it. Appreciate it!

Yeah - nothing on our side. We've had several incidents over the last few days, but none that would explain this behavior. You might check your database logs for some errors.
