Workflow execution is too slow, especially for large or complex workflows
Multiple users across plan types report significant performance degradation when running workflows with many steps, large batch operations, or many concurrent workflows. Symptoms include browser tab crashes, multi-minute execution delays, UI lock-ups during batch runs, and slow dashboard load times. The issue disproportionately affects mid-market and enterprise users with higher workflow volumes.
Evidence (showing 18 of 18)
"The app is noticeably slow when I have more than 5 active workflows."
"FlowPilot times out when running workflows with more than 10 steps."
"Workflow execution is slow. Simple automations take 30+ seconds."

"The Google Sheets sync takes 8 minutes for 500 rows. This is unusable."
"Workflow trigger latency is too high — sometimes takes 5 minutes to fire after the trigger event."
"Our larger workflows take several minutes to run. This is too slow for our use case."
"Large batch runs lock up the UI. I can't do anything while it's processing."

"Performance degraded significantly in the last two weeks. Was much faster before."
"The app is noticeably slow when I have more than 5 active workflows."
"We have 50 workflows running and the dashboard takes 10 seconds to load."

"Running a multi-step workflow crashes the browser tab occasionally."
Why this action type?
A score of 88 with high confidence on a performance issue means the signal is well-validated and represents a meaningful impact on core product functionality, not just a minor inconvenience. Slow workflow execution at scale directly threatens retention and expansion for power users, making this too critical to sit in a backlog. Routing to a Bug Escalation Ticket ensures engineering triages it with urgency, sets an SLA, and tracks resolution rather than letting it drift through standard prioritization cycles.
Signal score
Scores above 75 warrant immediate action. Between 50 and 75, investigate or plan. Below 50, monitor and collect more evidence.
