What happened?

Description

The PeerJS cloud server (0.peerjs.com) is experiencing extreme connection delays of 6+ minutes, despite the status page showing all systems operational.

Additional Notes

Status page (https://status.peerjs.com/ib0l) shows all systems operational (green), but the issue is reproducible consistently across:

• Different networks (home ISP, mobile data)
• Different devices (desktop, mobile)
• Both local and deployed (Vercel) applications

The delay occurs specifically during the WebSocket handshake phase before peer.on('open') fires.

Console Output

How can we reproduce the issue?

Steps to Reproduce

const peer = new Peer({ debug: 3 });
const start = performance.now();
peer.on('open', (id) => {
  console.log('Connected after:', performance.now() - start, 'ms');
});

Actual Behavior
