@KateN you mentioned
The developers have found that the issue is due to a delay in Google's Genomics Pipelines API running the job. As of right now, the issue is out of our hands and in Google's. They are actively working on fixing this, as it is a high priority ticket for them. Until then, unfortunately, jobs will run slowly. We will update you as soon as we have a fix.
@KateN do you by chance know of any ETA on when the fix would be done and deployed? I am observing some delays this afternoon.
