Alexa smart_home - slowed down?

Hi

Ive been using the Alexa Smart Home Skill for a few months now (“Self deployed” option using Lambda)

In the beginning, things worked flawlessly. Lately (last month or so) I have noticed a significant slow down in the response times when asking Alexa to do something, and the action taking place
E.G “Alexa, turn on the light” takes 5-10 seconds before the lights turn on, before it was almost instantaneous.

Additionally, I will sometimes have to repeat myself for the action to succeed as Alexa times out or “completes” but nothing happens

Any ideas on what I can look at to troubleshoot or even any ideas of speeding up the response?

Thanks!
