Background functions abruptly stopped returning a 202

Hi Netlify support:

Today, a few of our background functions stopped returning a 202 abruptly.

(Our site is api.shepherdtutors.com)

They began behaving like synchronous functions and timing out after 26 seconds, instead of immediately returning a 202.

It’s a lot more puzzling because a few of the other background functions still work. But others, don’t work.

For example:

https://develop--api-sheperdtutors.netlify.app/createAutoNewStudyPlanDocument-background

background DOES NOT WORK

But works:

https://develop--api-sheperdtutors.netlify.app/createAutoNewStudyPlanDocument-background

I’ve routed this to our helpdesk, we’ll follow up via email.
