rl, that is a good idea and I've stopped all the scheduled dpl project jobs that usually run on thyme, for 24 hours, to see if that helps. If anyone else could temporarily shut down their tools to help reduce the load on the server, maybe we can all help improve the recovery rate. --

I note that MNT-1225, which was originally projected to take over 24 hours, is now closing in on 72 hours and there doesn't seem to be any meaningful way to project a completion time. Nothing we can do about that now, of course. But, I am wondering whether it was necessary to run these update
