Superuser Auth API Response Became Extremely Slow

[digago-gh]

Issue:
Superuser logins now take noticeably longer compared to earlier versions. This delay is reproducible across environments and is specific to superadmin auth; regular collection user auth is unaffected.

Questions / Requests:
1. Was there a recent structural change in how superuser sessions are created or verified?
2. Is this expected behavior (e.g., for added security/logging), or is it an unintended performance regression?
3. Are there any known workarounds or config settings we can tweak to mitigate the delay?

Would appreciate any insights or recommendations.

If you can reliably compare across version. This might be an upstream issue.

All changes for app updates done by Cloudron is documented in either the changelog when updating the app or here in the forum.
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11735/pocketbase-package-updates
Even further the code commits for versions can be reviews here: https://git.cloudron.io/packages/pocketbase-app/-/commits/main

Bases on that, I can not reliably tell you yes or no.

Needs to be evaluated, either upstream or here.
Can you provide some logs of the app with "old version" fast and "new version" slow?

I don't think so but, you can search in the official documentation for something related to your issue.
