Post From: IB backfills very slow even with service pack 5

Hi

After switching to Interactive Brokers I'm observing very slow historical data download speeds

Apparently other users asked this before and as per thread:
VERY SLOW DATA DOWNLOAD FROM IB | Post: 206013

The solution was to activate higher SC package 5.

Unfortunately I have that package already activated but all historical data is still fetched from IB not SC backfill servers.

My best guess is that since mentioned forum post (dated 2020-02-04) something changed on the SC side.

What do I need to do to get chart loading speeds back to acceptable levels?

Need that both for futures and US stocks
