**Message:** Hello, I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with your service right now. I have been completely blocked from working for about 30 minutes because of a persistent error. Every time I try to run a task, I get this message: _“We’re experiencing high demand right now. Please try again in a few moments. Request ID: 7b9f682d-4833-427a-8ea6-21045429f825”_ I am using the **AUTO** mode, and this continuous downtime is completely disrupting my workflow and letting me down at a critical moment. “A few moments” does not mean half an hour. Please investigate this Request ID and fix my access immediately. This is unacceptable for a professional tool. Regards, Alex ---
