   Queue times for Android and Windows jobs have reduced significantly over the last hour. You may still notice brief, isolated queuing at times, but this is no longer at incident-level impact. This was related to capacity constraints with a third-party infrastructure provider. We thank you for your patience while we monitored the situation. If you have any issues, please reach out to our Support team.
