Asynchronous response slow

Been experiencing really slow response today even sending terms asynchronously to SERPAPI is resulting in long and also failed results in terms of not returning a search_id?
Using a general location such as United Kingdom, seems ok but failing when i try to use London, United Kingdom. Works for a few queries but then seems to stall on waiting for a response.

Al Could you share with me the search ID of a search where this happened?
I checked internally and we didn't have any spikes in response time or search failures.
Also what does the response look like when you aren't getting a
search_id

Elizabeth Oster: Just tested and it stopped on https://serpapi.com/search.json?q=cheap%20lino%20flooring&hl=en&gl=uk&google_domain=google.co.uk&num=30&device=Desktop&location=London,%20United%20Kingdom&async=true&api_key=*****
thing is this query works perfectly fine if i omit London, almost seems like it's trying to run real time rather than async

Al: I was able to get the correct async response with this:
{
"search_metadata": {
"id": "5fac795550374c0ac438de9c",
"status": "Queued",
"json_endpoint": "https://serpapi.com/searches/87b487616b61fe31/5fac795550374c0ac438de9c.json",
"created_at": "2020-11-11 23:52:53 UTC",
"processed_at": null,
"google_url": "https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cheap+lino+flooring&oq=cheap+lino+flooring&uule=w+CAIQICIlR3JlYXRlciBMb25kb24sRW5nbGFuZCxVbml0ZWQgS2luZ2RvbQ&hl=en&gl=uk&num=30&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8",
"total_time_taken": 0.00
},
"search_parameters": {

"google_domain": "google.co.uk",
"hl": "en",
"gl": "uk",

}
}
You can see the status for this response is
Queued
And the request got completed fine: https://serpapi.com/searches/87b487616b61fe31/5fac795550374c0ac438de9c.json
When you say you omit London, do you mean omit the
location
parameter all together or were you adding "London" to the q
, like cheap lino flooring London
.Just confirming if this link was supposed to be one that was working on your end.
