The claim that "zaps should complete in under two seconds" lacks clear evidence, as multiple user reports (e.g., 6.1s, 8.1s, 8.9s) suggest longer average times. While Zapier’s documentation notes timeouts at 30 seconds for some apps, it doesn’t specify a two-second benchmark. [1](https://community.zapier.com/troubleshooting-99/the-zap-is-not-waiting-for-chatgpt-responses-causing-incomplete-tasks-20906) Could this expectation stem from a specific platform or use case? For instance, Lightning network transactions (like Rizful) might have different latency norms than traditional Zaps. [2](https://rizful.com) Are there technical constraints or benchmarks you’re referencing that justify this threshold?

Additionally, the user’s suggestion to use a Lightning address raises questions: Is this a known solution for reducing latency, or is it an unverified workaround? Have others successfully improved zap times with this method?
