Strong slowdown with images related services

Post by allan_ahe » Tue Jun 29, 2021 9:52 am

Dear OPS Officer,

Since yesterday, we've been meeting a strong slowdown in using published images inquiry and retrieval services.

As our application implements the fair-use policy, it waits 1 minute when receiving the "overloaded" flag.

Currently, it means that each individual download last 1 minute to complete and our application receives always an "overloaded" flag after each download. That wasn't the case previous weeks, or such a situation didn't happen more than 24 hours.

Thanks for your support,

Allan

HI,

We have issues in other OPS services, but we were not aware of image retrieval issues. We will have a look. Can you send me to patentdata@epo.org your user ID and few URL examples of calls you were making?

Regards,
Vesna for OPS support
