   We are experiencing a performance degradation that started around 3:00 AM PST, primarily affecting a couple of our Google APIs, including but not limited to Google Search API, Google Light Search API, Google Images API, Google Jobs API. Latency peaked around 8:00 AM PST. Our team is continuing to apply optimizations to ensure latency returns to expected levels. Response times seem to be improving. We're continuing to monitor this.
