An internal cleanup task for QStash events, coinciding with disc layer compaction task has caused performance degradation to some users. 
‌
Mitigation: Team has mitigated the event by pausing some of these tasks and monitored the status for a while.
‌
Fixes: Improvements are being applied to these tasks to use resources more gracefully. Disk resources are increased to be able to handle a bigger burst of load.
