Agent has become extremely slow in completing even the simplest tasks, sometimes taking up to 11hrs and costing a whole lot more. I’ve tried new chats, reducing project size and nothing has helped so far. At this point it’s unsustainable. I am very deep in the project and have a lot of stakeholders relying on me. Need urgent help!!!

I’ve definitely never had an experience where an agent took 11 hours to complete something simple. What was this simple task?

Unfortunately, that’s what I’ve been dealing with.
