Thanks for sharing the details. Since changing DNS didn’t help, and you still get “Taking longer than expected” after 35 minutes even when using a mobile hotspot, this likely isn’t just a local network issue.
A couple things to look into:
-
Try Cloudflare WARP
I see you tried changing DNS and using a hotspot, but have you tried Cloudflare WARP? It’s free, and a user in India with a similar issue reported that it helped. It routes traffic differently than a simple DNS change. -
Free plan and load
On the free plan, requests can take much longer during peak hours since they go through a shared pool. The “taking longer than expected” behavior on a hotspot fits that. It doesn’t fully explain diagnostics failing, but it could explain waiting 35 minutes with no response.
Could you try Cloudflare WARP and let me know if anything changes? Also, what time of day (your local time) does this usually happen? Is it consistent, or does it come and go?
