As a side note - from some of my NSA research, we've found that PSC (Persona Session Collection) happens in ten minute windows. That means that a selector will trigger collection and that the collection on related flows will last for around ten minutes. Might be a good time to reconsider those circuit build times - especially if the above is correct. Hard to know for sure but good to disclose in any case.
