Speed-check routine

  1. Run short, repeatable prompts and compare response times.
  2. Check monitor latency trend versus outage indicators.
  3. If degradation persists, reroute high-priority tasks.

Low-risk mitigation

  • Reduce prompt length and concurrency.
  • Pause non-critical automation runs temporarily.
  • Fallback only for critical workflows.
