Seeing 1-2m delays on webhooks firing from gitlab.com

Hey folks,

We’re running into an issue where our webhook gets triggered, but then it’s a roughly two minute delay until the webhook fires. This seems to be something recent, possibly since this past Friday.

Looking at the logs for one of the webhook requests, the request headers are:

Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2025 15:33:46 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 14
Connection: close
Set-Cookie: <redacted>

But the MR comment triggering it was about a minute and fourty seconds before that:

  "object_attributes": {
    "author_id": <redacted>,
    "change_position": null,
    "commit_id": null,
    "created_at": "2025-10-09 15:32:06 UTC",

Any insight into what is going on here or - if it’s possibly something we’re doing on our end - what we can do to fix it would be great. Happy to provide additional info if helpful.

Thanks!

This is down to the 100ms range now - possibly to do with the google compute issues today. All good now.
