Search with blocked sellers failure | Report eBay Technical Issues

Hi there. I posted in the developer forums but got no reply. Since about mid November 2023, using the Finding API (FindItemsAdvanced), including blocked sellers to a search increases the response time by about 5x.Searches fail with more than 80 blocked sellers, with a error response saying every blocked seller is invalid.I have been using this API for more than 2 years and the response times for a search with 100 blocked sellers (the max limit) was no more than ~2 seconds. Since November, I can see response times of ~10 seconds at 80 blocked sellers.I am not sure if this is affecting production eBay but it could be-- a 5x increase in server times must be costing eBay money.Thank you!
