Update
You may have noticed another increase in response times since the most recent update. This was related to an improvement we attempted. That change has since been reverted until it can be further fine-tuned. Success rates and response times are recovering.
We'll follow up with further updates soon, thanks again for your patience.

We have made several improvements - success rates and response times should be recovering.
Note that there is one remaining known issue that we are still working to resolve - the location and uule parameters are not currently reliable for locations outside the US. We have implemented a fix and are testing it now. Until it goes live, please use the gl, hl, and google_domain parameters to specify non-US locations.
We’ll continue monitoring performance to ensure stability. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or experience any further issues.
