It's now mid weekday in China timezone.

Starting an hour or two ago GLM's API endpoint is failing 7/8 times for me, my editor is retrying every request with backoff over a dozen times before it succeeds and wildly simple changes are taking over 30 minutes per step.

Their distribution operation is very bad right now. The model is pretty decent when it works but they have lots of issues serving the people. That being said, I have had the same problems with Gemini (even worse in the last two weeks) and Claude. So it seems to be the norm in the industry.
