Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

We have jobs that update our substitution variables that we run once a month via EPM Automate. In the past, this job took approximately 30 seconds to update around 20 subvars, create a file and update scenario start and end dates. For the past 2 weeks (since updating both EPBCS and EPM Automate to the newest versions) it has been taking significantly longer. In our production and QA environments it was taking around 30 seconds for EACH substitution variable to update. In another test environment it is timing out and in fact took almost 90 minutes
