Block production time on Polkadot relay chain slowed down yesterday (from average 6 seconds to ~ 9 seconds) due to a validator issuing numerous dispute requests. This also had an impact on parachain block times. Block time is now back to normal, and a permanent fix is being developed for the issue.
