Hello, When you call the API in quick succession, you may be rate limited. However, in this case, you should get a RESOURCE_TEMPORARILY_EXHAUSTED error; it won't just make a single request linger and then return slower. So I'm curious if you have code in place that may automatically handle these rate limit errors and you're just looking at the total time, or if the API side is actually taking a long time to return. Can you provide the request ID for a single request that takes longer than you would expect to return?
In general, the best practice is to group like queries together as much as possible to avoid the possibility of these rate limits. So if you want to select 4 audiences, and then 4 more, and then 4 more, you might as well select all 12 at once. This will improve your overall throughput, even if that single request does take slightly longer than a request for only 4 would. Response time can vary based on overall network traffic as well, but that shouldn't affect it so much that it goes from less than 1 minute to over 15 minutes for a similar request. Let me know if you can get a request ID that is taking longer than you expect so I can take a closer look at that specific one.
