Slack is currently experiencing a major outage across all services, so there are areas of Obie, the Dashboard, and the browser extension that will be slow (up to 30 seconds) due to API calls being down.
If you are a browser extension only customer, you should not be affected.
We are actively monitoring the situation and will update once Slack has resolved their issues.
UPDATE: Slack is coming back online for customers, and as a result, Obie is returning to normal.
