Hello,

I am trying to fetch fulfilled orders for the Shiphero accounts that I’m working with and I’ve been having the following issues with them recently:

- Queries that ran almost instantly now take \>50s to complete

- Only for the new account that I’m working with I get the following message: 401, message=‘UNAUTHORIZED’, url=URL(‘[https://public-api.shiphero.com/graphql](https://public-api.shiphero.com/graphql)’)

Any idea why this only happens with the new account, and not the old, and why the query is taking so long. Here is my query:

```auto
query ($current_timestamp:ISODateTime!) {
    orders(fulfillment_status:"fulfilled" order_date_from:$current_timestamp) {
      request_id
      complexity
      data (first:100) {
        pageInfo {
          hasNextPage
          startCursor
          endCursor
        }
        edges {
          cursor
          node {
            id
            order_number

              }
            }

          }
        }
      }
      }
      }

Hey @saladass4254!

Thanks for reaching out.  
I’m going to look into this and get back to you, but could you provide me with a request id that the query returns in the meantime?

Best,  
RayanP

@sh-agent thanks for getting back! The query is not returning a request ID. When I use a GraphQL client like Altair, I’m getting a 504 error, and when I run it using gql in Python, I’m getting the unauthorized message. I’m happy to share the tokens via DM with you
