Document Intelligence models running slow/not finishing

Our Document Intelligence (DI) models are all running very slow, or not completing at all. We push the documents to storage and DI via Power Automate, the flows are all timing out because the models do not finish analyzing. I've also taken one of the documents and tried to perform a test analysis with DI.

The file is small(-ish), 500kb. So file size should not be a problem. None of the projects or models were changed today, so no reason that should have caused the problem. I did enable autoscale this afternoon after the problems started, but it does not seem to have made any improvement to performance.

Azure Status shows no problems, but is that accurate? I cannot find any sort of dashboard that would show me the processes running on our models at the current time. I don't know if too many are running at once, or if we hit a limit for the month. Or, is something else going on with Document Intelligence today?
