    Can you try again and let me know if you're still seeing the issue? Thanks in advance!

I can confirm this issue still exists. Using REST API V2, longpolls detect changes with a huge delay of 2 to 10 mins or more. Maybe some events are also lost, hard to tell. A quick solution for this is highly appreciated.

    Thanks for the additional information! We have reproduced this bug on /2/files/list_folder/longpoll and are investigating. I'll follow up here once I have an update on this.
