Batch API terribly slow/not working at all

I am currently experiencing issues with the Batch API (I am currently using GPT 5.4). The last days, everything worked fine. Started Batch Requests with 600 items which finished in 10-30 Minutes. Now my Batch requests are stuck in in_progress and 0/600 Items processed. I don’t know if they will finish at all, I didn’t wait the whole 24h execution window yet but I do not see a reason why it wouldn’t start processing my Items. My batch id is batch_69b9f9bf61148190b3b5940103638ffc

Please look into this issue ASAP

I have to correct myself. Yesterday, the exact same batch finished in 3min 36sec. see batch id batch_69b93aad08b081908128db879874322a

I can only confirm that batch processing is slow as hell recently, however they still process data within 24h window as per their terms.
