What's Wrong?

I am using 2.1.69 of ClaudeCode

I am waiting around 5 min for most of my prompts to actually begin. I dont have any issues with my internet connection, I havent had this problem before. Just now 7 min and 35 min.

Its like I am standing in queue ........ I am a max x20 subscriber, this is totaly unacceptable.

Keep in mind, sometimes, I see tokens being used aka I will soon get my response but while Claude is checking files and everything, suddenly it just stops and its back in queue WTF????

This is insane!!!
9 min and 22 seconds on the picture i added........

What Should Happen?

No waiting at all, no qeueue!!
