Hi @<1566596960691949568:profile|UpsetWalrus59> , what if you set output_uri=False

Still around 8min

@<1566596960691949568:profile|UpsetWalrus59> connecting the configuration creates several API calls that update it in the server - how large is ths configuration you're connecting?

it has 24 parameters, but two of them are list of features so overall the yaml file has around 70 lines

It seems like today the issue is resolved - the same code takes half a minute.

So perhaps network latency?

I was checking my internet speed yesterday and it seemed normal, anyway it seems fine now.
