Hi, experiencing critical latency issues with ConvAI that started recently:

Issue:

  • 5-10 second delays getting the very first sentence from AI agent
  • Once first sentence comes through, everything works normally
  • Transcriptions work fine during the delay period
  • No changes made on our end

Tested:

  • Official ElevenLabs test page - same issue
  • New agent from scratch with defaults - same issue
  • Different prompts, models, voices - no improvement
  • Removing "first message" makes it worse

Impact:

  • North America customers experiencing poor call quality
  • Business operations disrupted

Current Status:

  • Still seeing 5-7 sec delays consistently
  • Support ticket submitted but no response yet
  • Need urgent resolution for business continuity

Has anyone else experienced this? Any workarounds while we wait for a fix?
