Trouble with API Integration in Aviatrix

Hi all,I’ve been running Aviatrix in my multicloud environment for a bit now and recently started facing some frustrating issues with API integration. Specifically, some of the API endpoints are either not returning the expected data or are significantly delayed. I’ve gone through the documentation and other resources/articles https://docs.aviatrix.com/previous/documentation/latest/firewall-and-security/paloalto-api-setup.html Power Apps Tutorial and double-checked my configurations, but the problem persists.Has anyone else faced similar issues with API integrations? I’m curious if this is something related to how Aviatrix handles certain API calls or if I’m missing something on my end. Any troubleshooting tips, best practices, or even just pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!Looking forward to your insights. Thanks!
