Unmanaged Postgres backup takes over 1 hour for 500MB database

Were you in sea (Seattle) before?

If this was a migration, then the volumes might still be in the slower “hydrating” state:

On a different tack, a couple other users mentioned similarly poor download speeds in the past few days; one had good luck with switching to kernel-mode WireGuard instead.

(I wonder whether a surge in volume migrations as regions are being shutdown is reducing effective network capacity, :thinking:…)
