    Brief Description: At (seemingly) random times, my chat messages will suddenly delay by about 5-15 seconds.

    Instructions: 1. Chat
    2. Sometimes all messages stop sending, and will post en masse 5-15 seconds later.
    3. Seethe.

    How many times did you recreate this?: At least 10 times.

    Result: Chat lags and stops displaying/sending messages for 5-15 seconds.

    Expected Result: Chat displays and posts your messages at normal.

    Evidence: Numerous users experience it. If I knew a cause I'd try to catch a video, but I genuinely have no clue. It's happened to me on Main, Skyblock, VMR, different versions/mods, happened to different users... no idea.

    Some things to note:
    -Using /ch QM will 'bypass' the chat lag, and will allow you to chat normally, even in the middle of a 'lag spike'.
    -Server isn't lagging at all during this. No block lag, no command lag. I have no idea why specifically chat lags.

    Wonder if it could be command lag from a plug in spamming the server.

    I too have experienced this, but can't really investigate it properly until we're on 1.18.1
    This is one of those things we'll have to wait for the latest Minecraft version to be running for us to look into it.
    Feel free to make a new report once we push our update through. <3
    Investigating this in any way on 1.17.1 will be a lost cause.

    PS: I've added this to our development to do list, maybe @electronicboy will figure something out in the meantime.

    Can you still reproduce this issue? The timing of this lines up with the dates around which mojang had some issues with the xbox services stuff used for the client block lists

    I believe @bsqt and I were having issues earlier with chat lag, though Andrew wasn't. I'm not sure about everyone else.

    We weren't for a week or so, but today we experienced it again around 4:40PM PST.

    Honestly, I genuienly believe the best response here is let's please wait until our 1.18.1/2 release. <3
    Then we can truly examine the situation with the latest software running.

    Just to add to this, when there is a "chat lag" spike, doing /ch qm g doesn't seem to have any lag.

    you can also send the same message a second time and it goes through. A different message may or may not get lagged, but the resend always goes though.

    @killrdarknes, Since it's been a month now, have these issues persisted or have things gotten better now?
    I'm hoping it was just some bad network issues on OVH's side a month ago.
