Lootbox takes 60sec to process (transaction in progress?)

Product: The Sims Mobile
Platform:Apple iPad
List the specific devices you play with (e.g. iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7) iPad Pro
OS Version 14.5.1
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Tap on button to exchange tokens and claim a lootbox prize (all 3 levels of heirloom box, both Sweet Treat Showdown boxes) and each time the game gets stuck on ‘Transaction in Progress’ for around 50-60 seconds before the prize appears e.g. if I earn 900 Sweet Treat tokens and want to exchange it to claim 3 Sweet Treat box prizes, thats 3 minutes just waiting for ‘Transaction in Progress’ for all 3 boxes
What do you expect to see? Reduced waiting time to claim lootbox prize, preferably back to previous 2-3 sec wait
Connection Type Wifi
Please select your region Asia
Country Thailand

My bug is similar to another topic (Transaction in Progress) but happening to a different part of gameplay, specifically all lootboxes (all 3 levels of heirloom boxes and both Sweet Treat prize boxes)

It takes 50-60 sec on Transaction in Progress every time, for each individual box


Have done all the troubleshooting AND checked my internet connection (stable connection, normal speed), using mobile data instead of wifi and opening boxes at different times of the day but it all takes the same amount of time

This began after the new update (before this it takes 2-3 sec max to claim a prize) and appears to affect just the lootboxes

  • I noticed after the update in the end of June (Wash n Fold Bonus STS was still running) that it took around 30 seconds to open one prize box. ⏰ Before that update it took seconds. 

    I haven’t opened any boxes yet for current Charming Gardens Bonus STS but I’ve seen players now commenting on elsewhere that it takes sooooooo looooong to open the boxes. 

  • I have this exact problem. Also on an iPad air running ios 15.5. Just started after the last update. It takes about 60 seconds each time. This is also a problem when using tickets to buy the mystery boxes.

    Opened some STS boxes and it takes 30 seconds in my game, also tested an heirloom box and it took the same time. Playing with iPad 6th gen & wifi.

  •  Mine now takes varying amounts of time - sometimes it’ll take 15-30s, but mostly 60s. Completely random, I could open 2 boxes in a row and one will take 15s, the other 60s. Would a screen recording be helpful?
