 broker being slow.
 I apologize for the misunderstanding but I was on-topic, what I wanted to
 convey was that since there were problems with connecting with snowflake
 there were less users of snowflake and hence less requests to the broker
 and hence this issue seemed to disappear (if we assume that it's caused by
 a rate liming of some sorts). And what may confirm this analysis further
 is that now it takes a ton of time for snowflake to bootstrap since I
 constantly get `504 Gateway Timeout`s, and it takes a ton of time for tabs
 to load again when I need to pick a new snowflake while browsing. This
 again makes snowflake completely  unusable for me.
