I will see if I can get a programmer to take a look into this. It has been reported on their end. :)

I'll let you know if I get any updates.

It is likely just a string of bad luck. There's nothing that was changed in the script.

Yes. The lag could result in the crons not running properly/timing out. For the time being, as we continue to monitor the servers, I've updated the scripts so that it will run more frequently.

I'll circle back in a week and see how things are on the server side and we'll adjust accordingly.
