Simulation time error when using Servo in circuits

I'm experiencing an issue since yesterday: whenever a Servo is included in a circuit,specifically when the "servoname".attach(x) command is included in any code the simulation speed crawls down to miliseconds.

This has nothing to do with delays as they are included when necessary in the code and the issue is actually happening on pretty much every single circuit I had with Servos (even the ones that worked perfectly 2 days ago).

Is it a widespread issue or something? I'm noticing the same thing in my other accounts as well actually.

I'll leave this simple Servo circuit here as an example, as even this doesn't work. But for some reason all the circuits work perfectly as long as no Servos are attached though...weird.

  I am having the same issue, when I run a simulation on a servo it will not rotate and the simulation timer seems off.

  I have tried different browsers to see if it was a rendering issue but I am having the same issue in Chrome, IE, and Edge.

  Looks like an issue with the platform then. Good to know.

  I've already opened a support ticket about it, hope it resolves quickly.

  So did I.

  If I hear back I will post any resolutions.

  After doing some more testing, it seems like the issue might be related to the Servo library. As this only happens when the servoname.attach(pin) command is included in the code (even when there's no actual servo in the circuit).

  Commenting the attach command pretty much eliminates the issue (you lose the servo though).

  I am facing the same problem even with blocks coded code of servo.

  We have this back up and running correctly.

  Please let us know if you see continued issues with the servo.

  This does appear to be working again.

  Thank you so much

  Great! My Servo circuits are working again (and some other errors that I found this past couple of days are solved as well).

  Thanks a lot.
